Sri Maharajapuram S. Srinivasan is the grandson of 'Sangeetha Kalanidhi' Sri Maharajapuram Viswanatha Iyer and son of 'Sangeetha Kalanidhi' Sri Maharajapuram Santhanam, veterans in the field of Carnatic Music.

Sri Maharajapuram Srinivasan, an acclaimed musician in his own right has been performing music concerts since 1986. He has had the good fortune of being the primary disciple of both his grandfather as well as his father and has thus imbibed their rich musical heritage. He has performed all over India in all the leading Sabhas including The Music Academy, The Indian Fine Arts Society, Sri Krishna Gana Sabha, Tamil Isai Sangam in Chennai (India) and other Sabhas in New Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai. He is also regularly performing for the Doordarshan and the All India Radio and is an ‘A’ grade artiste. He has accompanied his father, the illustrious Sri Maharajapuram Santhanam in all his concerts both in India as well as abroad.

Endowed with a fine feeling for melody, he is striving to admirably combine the Lakshana and Lakshiya styles handed down to him by his ancestors and desires to prove his mettle as a chip of the old block.

All are cordially invited to attend the same - it is open to all music lovers and admission is free.
