Oscar nominated Carnatic Vocal Legendary, Bombay Jayashri's is set to perform at Shangri La Hotel, Dubai on Friday September 18 2015.
With a career extending over two decades, Jayashri is today among the most sought after Carnatic musicians. Her work has won her the acclaim of prestigious institutions in India and abroad.??Jayashri has deployed the essence of the classical idiom most effectively in her search for avenues beyond the concert format.
Background
Born into a family of musicians with rich lineage and steeped in pedigree music, Bombay Jayashri Ramnath represents the fourth generation of music practitioners in her family.
Jayashri has been groomed under the guidance of legend Shri Lalgudi G Jayaraman and Smt T R Balamani. Jayashri, today not only bears the torch of the Lalgudi tradition, but has also evolved a distinct style of her own.

More recently she has harnessed her skills towards composing music as a powerful catalyst in promoting our rich legacy in literature and other art forms which have opened up new vistas for exploring her creative instincts. Her composition for the operatic ballet based on the Tamil Epic - 'Silapadhikaaram' is an example of this.?
Contribution
?In her voyage as a cultural ambassador of India's rich heritage, Jayashri has performed extensively in India and abroad in the most prestigious fora, drawing critical acclaim wherever she performed.
Jayashri has the rare privilege of being the first Carnatic classical performer in the Opera House in Durban and the Russian Opera House in Helsinki, Finland.
Drawing from this exposure Jayashri has been collaborating extensively with Western classical music groups in creating what could truly be described as world music which opens up new vistas of music appreciation.
Her training in Hindustani Classical system has further helped her in this musical odyssey. Besides her musical performances, she continues to deliver workshops all over the world on the subject of World Music. Her contribution and involvement with schools where she has conducted workshops and interactive sessions to kindle interest amongst school children into our rich tradition of music is her way of giving back something of what she has gained.
Her very limited foray into film music has drawn a new class of listeners into the world of classical music.
In her Dubai performance, Bombay Jayashri, will be accompanied by violinist B.U Ganesh Prasad, mridangist N Manoj Siva, Ghatam artist S. Karthick and Vijayashri Vittal, a student of Jayashri who will strum the tanpura.
