East Facing CD Release Benefit Concert: Carnatic Saxophone by Prasant Radhakrishnan August 5, 2007

Enjoy an enchanting evening of Carnatic music on the saxophone by Prasant Radhakrishnan marking the release of his third album, "East Facing." Proceeds will benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

The prime disciple of Carnatic saxophone pioneer, Padmashri Kadri Gopalnath, Radhakrishnan has performed with his guru in hundreds of concerts while also making a name for himself as a solo artist through countless international performances and two critically acclaimed solo albums.

His third album, "East Facing" is Radhakrishnan's most direct and balanced record to date. Accompanied by established veterans B.U. Ganeshprasad (violin), P. Satishkumar (mridungam), V. Suresh (ghatam) and B. Rajashekar (morsing), Radhakrishnan continues to hone his distinct style of bringing Carnatic music to the saxophone by emphasizing the vocal quality of the instrument while still bringing out the saxophone's unique strengths.

Radhakrishnan will be accompanied by top Bay Area Carnatic musicians. The ensemble will present compositions from the new album, among other timeless favorites. During the intermission and after the concert, Prasant will be signing CD's and answering questions from the audience.
