T. Rukmini

T. Rukmini has been one of the most preferred violin accompanists in the Carnatic music scene for years. The reasons are not far to seek: her decided skill with the instrument, deep knowledge of the lakshana of raga-s, adeptness in quickly grasping what the main performer is doing, and willingness to follow the main performer as a true accompanist should. Not for her an overbearing attitude and one-upmanship. Her views on the role of an accompanist are clear and firm and she strives to play this role wholeheartedly and succeeds admirably.
