alapana
- your home of Indian Music and Dance
Classical
music & dance have given a special identity to Indian culture. alapana's
endeavour is to
bequeath Indian cultural heritage through music and dance.
Sangita Kalanidhi Dr S.Ramanathan had committed himself for the sole mission of exchanging
his profound musical knowledge with the whole world. It was his vision that
the world would appreciate the
potential, beauty & impact of this great melodic tradition more and
more in the decades to come. True
to his vision, Indian classical carnatic music has already started soaking the
hearts of millions of people across the continents.
Mrs R.Banumathy, daughter & disciple
of Dr S.Ramanathan carries the baton and
has been continuing the mission.
The popularly known alapana was founded as alapana arts in Singapore in 1999 by Mrs R.Banumathy.
Over the years, alapana has established itself as a premiere institution
teaching and performing Indian classical Carnatic music & Bharatanatyam in Singapore. alapana faithfully adheres to the musical tradition inherited
through the Trinity and passed on by Dr S.Ramanathan. alapana also strictly follows the path laid by our
trendsetter Gurus, the Dhananjayans in the field of Bharatanatyam. Mrs Lavanya Balaji (disciple of the Dhananjayans) is the Artistic Director of alapana and also the head of the Dance faculty.
