Hailing from a family of music lovers and practitioners, Pandit
Balkrishna Iyer has been a professional tabla maestro for more than
three decades, with performances around the globe. Besides solo tabla
concerts, Balkrishna Iyer has also accompanied top musicians for various
prestigious music festivals. Besides the tussle with renowned vocalist
Kishori Amonkar, Balkrishna also talks about his successful musical
journey and the establishment of the Iyer Foundation for the welfare of
artistes and for the promotion of classical arts.
