It’s high time India had its own piano tradition: Anil Srinivasan

There’s a certain joy that infuses the air when you first hear the strains of a piano. And when it’s Anil Srinivasan working the instrument, the joy is only bumped up. The lilting tunes range from the classic to the popular – he goes as easily from Mozart to Bollywood as he does from Guns N’ Roses to Bhairavi. The Chennai-based pianist, known for his distinctive aesthetic of marrying Indian classical with Western classical styles, believes that there are possibilities in everything.
