The British Carnatic Choir (BCC) is a UK-based Carnatic choir group, the first of its kind in the country.[1][2]
It was launched in 2015 by ShruthiUK, a South Asian arts organisation based in Solihull[3][4] with the aim of creating and exploring choral singing in the South Indian classical music genre.[4][5] According to its website, the ensemble includes children, young adults, music enthusiasts, professionals of both asian and non-asian origin from across the UK.[6] The British Carnatic Choir organises the annual World Music Conference .
About the Choir[edit | edit source]
The choir is the brainchild of UK-based Chithra Ramakrishnan, herself a Carnatic vocalist and the artistic director of ShruthiUK, a Solihull-based non-profit South Asian arts and culture organisation.[5][7][8] Its website lists notable British names like Paul Sabapathy (CVO CBE), Carl Rice (Councillor and ex-Mayor of Birmingham) and Indian ones like Neyveli Santhanagopalan and G. J. R. Krishnan (both Sangeet Natak Akademi Award winning Carnatic vocalists), etc. among its patrons.
Performances[edit | edit source]
It was officially inaugurated on 12 June 2015 at the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce by Chitravina N Ravikiran, a composer and scholar in Carnatic music.[4][9] The choir premiered at the Birmingham Conservatoire in November 2015.[3]
In November 2015 the youth ensemble of this choir performed its inaugural concert with around 120 students from the Sparkhill's Greet Primary School at South & City College Birmingham auditorium by presenting a series of Sanskrit songs.[1]
World Music Conference[edit | edit source]
In November 2017 the group organised the World Music Conference. This is an event aimed at bringing together artistes, academics, music educators spanning diverse cultures from across the world to promote a sense of peace and harmony. The event will be free and conducted annually.
