Early days

They are disciples of veena maestros vidhwans R. Pichumani and Trivandrum R Venkataraman.

Career

The brothers have been performing together since 1994 and they have been very well received globally. Their performance though with two instruments almost sounds like one as they have almost matching tonal quality. Their style is sober, very traditional and substantive.

They are ‘A’ graded artists of All India Radio, Chennai.

Pichumani School of Carnatic Music

In 1990, they established the Pichumani School of Carnatic Music in Melbourne. The school teaches students the art of veena playing and vocal music.
