Vid. Anoor Ananthakrishna Sharma

I have known Sreenivas Murthy for over three decades now. Having learnt under guru Vid. Vasudeva Rao, he continued mastering the artform of Carnatic Music and percussion under my guidance for a short time too. Having done this for over several years, he has sculpted his own way around the art of percussion. What he has been doing with GSKK and the way he is encouraging his disciples towards mastering this wonderful art, is something really commendable.

Though the institution was formally registered in 2009, Sreenivas Murthy and Savithri, having adopted music as their profession, celebrating Aaradhana every year, as per our culture. After Guru Smruthi Kala Kendra was established, the celebrations took a broader dimension, honouring senior musicians of the field, providing platform for upcoming youngsters – both local and deserving young musicians from various parts of theState, arranging quarterly programs and other such activities.

Sreenivas Murthy is a good Mridangam artist. He also learnt and practiced Ghatam for sometime and has accompanied many of the renowned artists of the State. He started Guru Smruthi Kala Kendra and trained many students in Mridangam, Ghatam, Khanjira, Morcing and Konnakol. His students participated in 'Nada Pravaaha' which was a grand celebration of the Ghatam Maestro Padmabhushan Vid. Sri Vikku Vinayakram sir's 75th birthday.

Guru Smruthi Kala Kendra is a renowned institution for Carnatic Classical Music. Vid P. Sreenivas Murthy is not only a great percussion artist, but also what he has been doing at GSKK is exemplary. He has been running the music school for over two decades now and what's come out from that is nothing short of outstanding. He is an excellent guru completely dedicated towards the teachings of the artform.

In the service of music, Sri Srinivas Murthy’s family members are active participants. His wife Savithri Srinivas is not only an excellent violinist, but also is training many students. Vocal, Flute, Veena experts are available in their family. It is praiseworthy that they recognize and felicitate seniors who have contributed to the field of Sangeetha and Sahitya. I wish success such organizations that strive for a healthy society and make the music field rich.
