NVS Radha

Smt. Radha is a well-known and excellent musician and Veena Vidushi. Radha was born into a musical household. Her father, NRP Sarathy, was a student of none other than renowned singer T.R. Mahalingam! She began her musical career at the age of seven, under the coaching of Saraswathula Lakshmi Kumari, and quickly learned the complexity and subtle nuances of Carnatic music and veena. She also took first place in Andhra University's inter-collegiate tournaments. She won the gold medal in tournaments at Venkateshwara University. Since then, she's performed at several prestigious venues, including the Tirupathi Brahmotsavams and Annamacharya Utsavams, the Narada Gana Sabha, and the Nadotsavam at the Art of Living in Bangalore.

Smt Radha has been a dedicated guru for more than three decades, in addition to her continual involvement in concerts and other engagements. She has taught with the utmost dedication and attention. Omkaarini Sangeetha Pathashala, the school she created, has provided fundamental and advanced training to many students throughout the years! She was honored and awarded the Rotaract Club's Outstanding Young Person title in 1983. She has also been honored by the Visakha Music Academy with a gold medal.

Smt Radha earned an M.Phil in music from the prestigious Sree Padmavathi Music University in Tirupathi, despite her commitments as a performing musician and the rigors of being a guru to a large number of disciples. Her numerous appearances have adequately demonstrated Radha's prowess as a veena performer with the great Dr. Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna in live concerts and studio recordings.
