Balu Raghuraman
(Violin)
One of my earliest memories is that of seeing a violin at home. I learnt that it was gifted to my father in Trichy by an Australian gentleman. One fine day, I was sent to a violin class simply because my parents decided I had to use it, recalls one-time Bangalorean and acclaimed violinist Balu Raghuraman. Today, Raghuraman teaches the violin at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan (BVB), London, and co-ordinates the Indian music degree program offered by the Bhavan in the UK. Though neither of my parents grew up with an interest in music, both of them developed a taste for music eventually and continue to be avid listeners, says Raghuraman during one of his frequent trips to Bangalore, the city in which he grew up. Picking up a violin left behind at home by a visiting Aussie. Balu gave his first performance as a 10-year-old, taking the initiative to play at a nearby temple on a festival day.
