T. R. Subramaniam

Professor T. R. Subramaniam (20 September 1929 – 4 October 2013), popularly known as TRS, was a vocalist in the Carnatic tradition. He was popular for infusing unconventional and populistic techniques in his renditions, especially of the pallavi, without compromising on the classicism of the rendition. Famous for his willingness to explore new avenues regardless of whether they would be accepted or not, TRS' concerts were much sought-after. He was also much loved as a teacher. He received a double doctorate in music. Provided by Wikipedia
