Savitri
and Murali bring to the forefront the role of their music in the
context of dance and its interplay.
They have accompanied Swati in all their productions.
Having covered over 60 venues per year, the orchestra is an integral
part of Swati's productions.
It consists of:
Savitri
Ramanand - an acclaimed soloist of choreographer of South
Indian Classical music.
Aarti Ramanand - cymbals and solukattu (the rapid
spoken syllables accompanying dance movements).
Murali
Balachandran - dedicated and virtuous mrdangam player
(percussions).
This
dynamic ensemble has been the core aspect of musical presentation
with the varied programs.
Having performed together with Swati for the past 12 years in
the NY tri state area and outside they work as an excellent team
which is apparent from their well synced flawless presentations.
