PROFILE
(Flute)
Heramb Hemanth, the twin brothers, affectionately called as the Flute Brothers, are two of the most sought after flautists and the only twin flute duo in the carnatic music scenario today. They started learning carnatic flute at the age of 6 under the renowned flautist, Sri Mysore AV Prakash and are currently under the tutelage of well-known carnatic vocalist, Kalaimamani Sri Neyveli Santhanagopalan. Heramb Hemanth have developed a unique, refined fingering and blowing technique, which enables them to switch between wide range of flutes, including the difficult bass and double-bass flutes. The duo is well appreciated for their innovative approach, perfect synchronization, shruthi shuddham (perfect pitching), tonal quality and the blend which makes the rasikas feel at times as if they are listening to a single flute. Their music naturally demonstrates depth and proximity to the lyrical aspect of composition, representing the 'gayaki style' of music. The brothers are on their way in creating a new dimension to the art of playing carnatic classical flute duets. Being one of the youngest recipients of 'A' grade by All India Radio (age of 18), they have performed in various prestigious organizations and festivals in the country and abroad. They are also recipients of 'The Shanmukhananda Bharat Ratna MS Subbulakshmi Fellowship' from Sri Shanmukhananda Sangeetha Sabha, Mumbai and one of the youngest recipients of 'Asthana Vidwans' title from Sringeri Sharada Peetham.
