C A Rajasekar’s passion for music is well known for he hails from a family of celebrated musicians who are wedded to music. His father Appanna Bhagavathar and grandfather Vedachala Iyer were reputed musicians of Chittoor. His grandfather was adept at playing the violin and flute, while his father could play the violin which had a distinctive grace.
Rajasekar imbibed the musical spirit from them and was placed under the tutelage of his father for vocal and violin lessons.
He took to the violin and obtained a postgraduate degree in music from the University of Madras. Violin maestro M Chandrasekar channelised his potentials. He forayed into a different genre of music – Western - and learnt Western music from violin wizard V S Narasimhan.
He has accompanied several leading artistes and started a school in 2000 - Carva School of Music - which became a trust in 2001.
Many students are under his stewardship and the 12th edition of the Grand Violin Ensemble for World Peace – featuring 100 violins - is to be held on Sunday, September 4 at Ashok Nagar, Chennai.
Renowned jalataranga and violin vidwan Aanayampatti Ganesan will be the guest of honour.
