The TN Krishnan Foundation for Performing Arts has opened its teaching centre in Besant Nagar, Chennai. A brainchild of Sangita Kalanidhi Prof. T. N. Krishnan, one of India's senior most and respected violinists, the foundation aims at the preservation and propagation of classical arts, especially the violin style of the TN Krishnan school. The new centre is located in Besant Nagar, at the HDFC Bank building opposite Nilgiri's.

The brief and simple inaugural function last week was attended by a select band of well-wishers, students and admirers of TN Krishnan. The function started off with a couple of vocal renditions by the maestro himself! In a pure, chaste style he rendered Mahaganapthim (Nattai) and Nada Tanumanisham (Chittaranjani), a rare treat for listeners who have only heard the mellifluous notes of the maestro's violin. This was followed by TN Krishnan's brief address outlining the work done since the launch of the foundation a year ago and his future plans, including the activities at the new centre.

Representatives of the LANCOR group which is supporting the foundation's activities were also present and one of them spoke with enthusiasm about the support they were extending to TN Krishnan's efforts. Vidwan Alleppey Venkatesan represented the artistes' community.
