TCPA presents Piano Concert by Anand Sheshadri

July 9, 2017 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

Anand Seshadri, a Chennaite, is a passionate musician born in a non-musical family. Though being an engineering graduate with distinction, his intense passion and love for music always pushed him towards the goal of becoming a performer and a composer. His musical journey started with private lessons under Guitarist Thangadurai Samuel and he completed Grade 8 in Practical, Theory and then LTCL (Equivalent to Level 6 UK Honors degree) in 2010. He found his way to the Birmingham Conservatoire in the UK, where he completed Master of music in Piano Performance with distinction (Youngest to complete – at 21) under Pianists David Quigley and Katherine Lam. Having seen the development and passion of Anand, the head of Keyboard at the Conservatoire Mr. John Thwaites offered him a 2-year course in the Conservatoire with about 70 % scholarship since it was felt that his continuous studying at the Conservatoire will help him scale greater heights in the field of Music. However, unfortunately, he was not able to pursue the course owing to lack of financial support. But, with unstinted passion even in tough circumstances, he subsequently got into the prestigious Franz Liszt Academy of Music, Budapest, Hungary. There he studied under professors Jeno Jando and Dr. David Ball, the only Indian so far to have achieved this distinction. During his time in Birmingham and Budapest he had masterclasses with Martin Jones, Martino Tirimo, Bernd Goetzke, Dina Yoffe and Tamas Ungar.

In November 2016, Anand received a full Scholarship from the Ithaca College, United States to study under Charis Dimaras (past pupil of the prestigious Juilliard School). He made his US solo Concert debut on the 28th February. Subsequently he also gave performances in the following genres: Piano Ensemble (4 hands), Chamber music and contemporary pieces with orchestra and adjudicated the New York MTNA auditions. He has also performed in various cities across India – Pune, Hyderabad, Delhi and Goa.
