We feel privileged to be supporting a project
of the scale and scope of the Centre of Indian
Music Experience or IME—India’s first interactive
music museum, located in the Brigade Millennium
enclave in Bangalore. Last year, in celebration of
this association, our calendar featured famous
paintings relating to Indian
music. Brigade Calendar 2015
is based on the same theme,
except this time the paintings
have been specially created
for us by Bangalore’s well-
known artist, Chandranath
Acharya.
The daunting task of selecting 12 artistes
from a pantheon of greats was made possible
by defining our focus very early on. We then
narrowed our theme to great artistes and their
instruments, with equal representation to both
Hindustani and Karnatak traditions. We narrowed
the filter further: to maestros of the past, no more
with us, who are credited with raising their art
and their instruments to new heights.
It is to be expected that our selection will
not meet with universal agreement. The absence
of great masters like Nikhil Banerjee and Vilayat
Khan (sitar), Dwaram Venkataswamy Naidu (violin),
S. Balachander and Chitti Babu (veena), Pannalal
Ghosh (flute), Sultan Khan (sarangi), Allah Rakha
(tabla)—among a host of
others—will be felt. The year
has too few months, Indian
classical music too many
virtuosos.
Ustad Ali Akbar Khan,
who features in this
calendar, once said, “If
you practice for ten years, you may begin to
please yourself, after 20 years you may become a
performer and please the audience, after 30 years
you may please even your guru, but you must
practice for many more years before you finally
become a true artiste—then you may please even
God”.
We believe the twelve artistes you will see in
the following pages do just that.

We wish you a happy & prosperous 2015
Bismillah Khan’s beloved shehnai—which he called Begum—was gifted to the Centre of Indian Music Experience Trust by the maestro’s family. It will be on permanent display at the IME, Brigade Millennium, Bangalore.

The Many Worlds of Brigade Group
Toll free: 1800 102 9977 [email protected] BrigadeGroup.com
We first entered the real estate sector in 1986, with an ownership office building in Bengaluru. The 14-storey Brigade Towers was then the tallest building constructed by a private developer in Bengaluru. It became such an established landmark that many people believed Brigade Road took its name from Brigade Towers, instead of the other way round.
Now, nearly 30 years laterChanging times and expectations are reflected in our buildings and services, growth and diversification. Now in our 29th year of operations, Brigade Group is considered one of the leading property developers in South India, with a stable and confident business model. And in the process of successfully negotiating changing conditions, we have evolved to embrace many fascinating and different worlds.
We have a presence in a variety of domains—residential, commercial, hospitality, retail and education. Our projects extend across Bengaluru, Chennai, Chikkamagaluru, Hyderabad, Kochi, Mangaluru and Mysuru. To date, we have completed over 150 buildings and, in the process, have earned important certifications, won prestigious awards and created urban landmarks.
The Brigade OrganisationWe are headquartered at the iconic World Trade Center Bangalore in the Brigade Gateway enclave (both of which, incidentally, we created). We have branch offices in several cities in South India, and representative offices in Dubai and the USA. Our operations are managed by a team of ‘Brigadiers’—currently numbering over 1500—and a national and international network of professional associates across domains, services and specialisations. We work in a state-of-the-art environment supported by ERP, follow best practices of HR management and employ modern construction technology.
Looking beyond business horizonsIn 2003, we set up a not-for-profit trust, Brigade Foundation, through which we could work in the broad areas of education, health and community development. We have also put into motion a series of initiatives and activities that bring us closer to the community around us.

Ustad Bismillah Khan (1916-2006) • Shehnai • At the age of six, Bismillah Khan became a disciple of his uncle, a shehnai player attached to Varanasi’s Vishwanath Temple. It was the start of a musical journey that would make Bismillah Khan one of the most respected classical musicians of his time. It would also reposition the shehnai from an instrument played mainly at social
occasions, to a classical instrument that reached “the realms of high art and raga”, could command the concert stage and touch a global audience. He was invited to perform at Delhi’s Red Fort on the eve of India’s Independence—a tradition that continued every year until his death. He was awarded the country’s highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna.

T. N. Rajarathinam Pillai (1898-1956) • Nadaswaram (or Nagaswaram) • What Bismillah Khan was to the shehnai in Hindustani classical music, T. N. Rajarathinam Pillai was to the nadaswaram in the Karnatak tradition. He gave nadaswaram and tavil players the status of respected musicians. He earned the title Nadaswara Chakravarthi and is credited with bringing fundamental change and innovation to both his instrument and art. He ‘invented’ the all-wood
pipe, longer than its predecessor, for greater musical power and integrity; he also changed the traditional position in which the nadaswaram was played from standing to sitting. He seized upon the idea of a tambura sruti for nadaswaram and was the first to play the nadaswaram to the accompaniment of the violin, mridangam, and tambura.

Chandranath Acharya | The Brigade Collection
Pandit Ravi Shankar (1920-2012) • Sitar • The sitar made a dramatic entrance on the world stage when Ravi Shankar was ‘discovered’ by the west. He opened new frontiers with his unique sitar playing techniques, creatively straddling the spheres of Indian classical and world music simultaneously. He collaborated with legends like Yehudi Menuhin, Jean Pierre Rampal and George Harrison (of The Beatles, who called him the ‘father of world music’), soon becoming one
of the most documented, decorated and distinguished musicians of his time. Ravi Shankar developed multimedia projects involving music, dance, film, and performance art, all rooted in Indian themes. He was awarded honorary degrees, memberships and titles from around the world, including three Grammy Awards (and the Lifetime Achievement Grammy posthumously) and the Bharat Ratna.

T. Chowdaiah (1895 -1967) • Violin • His life and career were the stuff of folklore. Acclaimed in the mainstream concert circuit of South India, he accompanied some of the great vocalists of Karnatak classical music. He also gave solo performances that commanded the concert stage and audiences. Chowdaiah modified the original four-string violin into a seven-string instrument that brought out the subtleties of all seven notes and amplified the violin’s sound.
He was honoured with numerous awards and titles—one being the Madras Music Academy’s Sangita Kalanidhi award, considered one of the highest recognitions in Karnatak music. An iconic violin-shaped auditorium—Chowdaiah Memorial Hall, near Sankey Road—pays tribute to his memory. Yet this individualistic spirit cared little for the trappings of titles, power and position.

Ustad Ahmed Jan Thirakwa (1892-1976) • Tabla • Alongside being accompanist to four generations of performers, Ustad Ahmed Jan Thirakwa was also one of the rare tabla players to achieve pre-eminence as a soloist. His recitals elevated playing the tabla solo to an art in its own right and made him one of the most influential percussionists in the history of Indian classical
music. He is acclaimed for his wide ranging repertoire, versatility and technical brilliance, spanning several gharanas. He was a professor of tabla, and later Professor Emeritus, at the Bhatkhande College of Music in Lucknow. Thirakwa was awarded the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award and the Padma Bhushan.

Palghat Mani Iyer (1912-1981) • Mridangam • As The Hindu wrote in a tribute to the icon, “It was his skillful use of sound and silence that gave the concert a sustained and rapturous beauty. It was his brilliant percussive phrasing that raised the impact of the compositions to a level hitherto unheard of”. Palghat Mani Iyer elevated the position of the mridangam vidwan from a musician who
supported the main artiste, much like a human metronome, to an artiste who actively played along with the lead performer. To quote another acclaimed percussionist, Karaikudi Mani, “He brought gauravam (dignity) to the profession”. He also introduced innovations in the structure and size of the mridangam, to produce different pitches. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan.

Govindrao Tembe (1881-1955) • Harmonium • Govindrao Tembe was a polymath: music composer, stage actor, writer and perhaps the most renowned harmonium player of all time. Largely self-taught, Tembe’s career as a harmonium player began on the Marathi stage, with Marathi stage songs. Under the influence of artistes like Bhaskarbuwa Bakhale and Alladiya Khan, his mastery of
the harmonium and the structural integrity of his playing acquired sophistication and brilliance, earning him legendary status and the credit for bringing his instrument ‘from the side of the stage to its centre’. He accompanied the great vocalists and instrumentalists of his day, reflecting and reproducing their ‘every nuance and improvisation’ on his harmonium.

T. R. Mahalingam (1926-1986) • Flute • Tiruvidaimarudur Ramaswamy Mahalingam, affectionately known as Mali, was an inspired musician, known for his formidable breath control and brilliant fingering. Mali pioneered several musical transitions: he introduced the gamaka style of flute playing, in which the flute replicates the graceful, fluid and continuous notes of the human voice, and
redesigned the flute, bringing in an eighth hole to produce richer tones. He earned the reputation of being an eccentric genius, since he played only when he was inspired, disregarding such niceties as punctuality and programme duration at his concerts. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan, which, in typical Mali style, he declined.

Ustad Zia Mohinuddin Dagar (1929-1990) • Rudraveena • Zia Mohinuddin Dagar belonged to the 19th generation of Dagar family dhrupad musicians. He played the measured and meditative Dhrupad style of music—the oldest surviving form of Hindustani classical music—on the rudraveena. His style, appealing to highly cultivated tastes, elevated the rudraveena, till then used as a
practice instrument by vocalists, into a full-fledged concert instrument. In 1982, he established a Gurukul, in the time-honoured Dagar tradition, at Palaspa, near Mumbai. He was also associated with several prestigious universities and music conservatories abroad. He was awarded the Kalidas Samman, one of India’s most prestigious awards, by the Madhya Pradesh government.

Veenai Dhanammal (1867-1938) • Veena • Her style, reflecting the grandeur of the padams, became known as the Veenai Dhanammal bani. She set the benchmark for capturing the best in the Karnatak classical music tradition and creating sublime levels of music experience that reflected the ‘unhurried and cultured leisure’ of her day. Her legacy to Indian classical music and arts include progeny who became accomplished artistes. Amongst these was her granddaughter, the
legendary Bala Saraswati, arguably the greatest Bharatanatyam dancer of all time. It is said that in her dying moments, her fingers searched for the strings of her veena, which was placed at her bedside. Her last words were “Muvva Gopala”, the signature of Kshetragna whose padams she had revered and made famous.

Ustad Ali Akbar Khan (1922-2009) • Sarod • He was taught by his father, the renowned musician Allauddin Khan, who was also teacher to Ravi Shankar. And as Ravi Shankar did to the sitar, Ali Akbar Khan shone the international spotlight on his instrument, the sarod. He travelled extensively in India and the west, performing solo and in acclaimed classic jugalbandi pairings, most memorably
with Ravi Shankar and Nikhil Banerjee. In a mission to spread knowledge of Indian classical music, he set up schools in Calcutta, California and Switzerland. He received many prestigious awards, among which were the Padma Vibhushan, a MacArthur Fellowship, and a National Heritage Fellowship. He also received five Grammy nominations.

With the infrastructure, facilities and teaching you’d expect from an
international school—but without those international school costs.
Students at all The Brigade Schools begin school life with the
advantage of a specially designed Montessori-based Pre-primary education.
They then move seamlessly forward—in carefully constructed stages, in
one familiar system and environment—from Nursery to graduation. It’s a
good and happy way to grow up.

A project we are proud to support: India’s First Interactive Music MuseumThe Centre for Indian Music Experience, or IME, will be a new landmark in Bengaluru’s cultural landscape. This vibrant music epicenter has been envisioned and designed to advance the understanding and appreciation of various genres of Indian music, from the traditional to the contemporary. The museum will include multi-media galleries featuring photographs, instrument installations, audio-visuals, and interactive experiential areas; an outdoor park, with installations made of natural materials; and a Learning Centre, with classrooms, a seminar hall and a library. The Learning Centre will conduct regular music lessons, as well as seminars, workshops and music appreciation courses. Through
experiences that engage, educate and entertain, this museum will enable people to rediscover their connections to the living tradition that is Indian music.
The IME building was completed and inaugurated in 2013. The museum is being designed by one of America’s leading professional designs firms, Gallagher & Associates, who worked with the Recording Academy to create the Grammy Museum.
The best experts and expertise, from India and abroad, are coming together to make the Indian Music Experience a reality in 2015.
1. The Instrument Gallery: The instrument displays will be accompanied by interactive kiosks.

U. Srinivas (1969-2014) • Mandolin • While playing a typically western instrument like the mandolin, Uppalapu Srinivas was one of the all-time greats in the Karnatak classical music tradition. He was the first musician to use the electric mandolin in Karnatak music, modifying its traditional four doubled strings to five single strings, to suit the pitch, raga system, and especially gamakas
(nuanced oscillations) of Karnatak music. Srinivas was also a respected presence in the world music genre, having recorded and played with jazz and rock greats like John McLaughlin (George Harrison of The Beatles is said to have exclaimed, “Eddie van Halen, eat your heart out,” when he first heard Srinivas). The mandolin maestro died at the young age of 45.
