Gautam Tejas Ganeshan's authentic voice and intelligent approach breathe new life into an old tradition. His concerts reflect a traditional aesthetic, embracing a classical style instantly recognizable to aficionados worldwide, and transforming it through the creation of an ongoing body of original works based in love and understanding of Carnatic music - its elaborate structures, extensive improvisations, and the utmost sincerity that distinguishes its greatest practitioners.
Delivered in chamber ensembles, his performances are typically presented strictly acoustically, with nothing plugged in, honoring the strictures adopted by an earlier generation of musicians. But in rendering exclusively his own songs, he inflects this highly cultured musical heritage through himself, expressing authenticity more than ethnicity, immediacy more than nostalgia, and allowing listeners the unprecedented experience of having a natural linguistic purchase on the complex song forms of a rich oral tradition.
He has performed widely in the SF Bay Area since 2004, including at the SFMOMA, BAM/PFA, SFJAZZ, Asian Art Museum (SF), Hertz Hall at UC Berkeley, Zellerbach Playhouse, ODC Theater, Palace of Fine Arts, Yoshi's, Freight & Salvage, Julia Morgan Theater, UC Botanical Garden, Brick & Mortar Music Hall, and more.
