TELUGU...a language sweeter than honey

ఇదే నా ఆకాంక్ష, అందరి నుంచి కోరుకునె చిరు మాట

Balamuralikrishna honoured


మంగలంపల్లి బాలమురలికృష్ణ (Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna) has again been awarded an honorary doctorate.. This time it is from Visva-Bharati University in Santiniketan

Visva-Bharati University conferred on the maestro D. Litt and the title దేశికోత్తమ (Desikottama), the highest honour of this institution.

Balamuraliji is on a concert tour in the U.S. and therefore was not present at the convocation ceremony.

When asked what the latest honour meant to him, he says that recognition from the university founded by the Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore is indeed unique. The latest honour comes at a time when Balamuralikrishna's recordings of Rabindra Sangeet have been received with acclaim.

The six other academic institutions that have conferred an honorary doctorate on this doyen of classical music are the Andhra, Hyderabad, Srivenkateswara, Madras, Rabindra and Jawaharlal Nehru Technical universities.
