 Born
in 1935, Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan did not show any early
inclination towards music, despite being in a family of
musicians. His father was a violinist and a Sanskrit
scholar. It was to stand in for the usual violinist, who
could not come to the Karthigai festival, that the
nine-year-old took up the violin. Within eleven months, he
was able to accompany his sisters.
Performing solo recitals since 1965, Kunnakudi
Vaidyanathan's ever-smiling visage is the trademark sign of
the delight he gets from the music he plays. Apart from
being a master violinist, Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan has also
directed and composed music for over 40 films.
