He is the founder of the Tyagaraja Aradhana in Toronto and is a professor of music at York University. He has regularly performed at all leading organisations in Chennai every December Music Season and continues to accompany a wide array of top ranked musicians. Trichy Sankaran has been conferred the illustrious title, Sangeetha Kalanidhi, from the Madras Music Academy for the year 2011–2012.〔 ==Early life== Born on 27 July 1942 in Thiruchirapalli, Tamil Nadu, India, Sankaran had his early musical training first under his cousin, the late Sri P. A. Venkataraman, and later became the star disciple of the legendary ''mridangam'' maestro, the late Sri Pazhani Subramania Pillai. He made his debut at the age of 13 in a concert given by the Alathoor Brothers at Nanrudayan Temple in the town of Thiruchirapalli Since then he has performed with all top ranking Carnatic musicians, including Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar, Sri Chembai Vaidhyanatha Bhagavatar, Sri Maharajapuram Viswanatha Iyer, Sri Musiri Subramania Iyer, Sri Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, Sri G. N. Balasubramaniam, Sri Madurai Mani Iyer, T. R. Mahalingam, and others. Winner of the All India Radio gold medal in 1955 and the President of India award in 1958, Sankaran is one of the world's top ranking ''mridangam'' players. In addition to being the most sought after successor to the style of Pazhani Subramania Pillai, Sankaran has cultivated and infused new dimensions to the art of performing on his instrument, thus making his style innovative, yet treading ever so finely within the confines of tradition. He has developed over the years a unique style of accompaniment trademark to only himself for which he is highly sought after amongst musicians, percussionists, audiences and connoisseurs alike. The forte of his style includes the most superior of ''nadai'' calibration, subtle ''koraippu'' structure, innovative ''mora'' – ''korvai'' permutations and most significant of all; his innate ability to present performances in any ''tala'' combination, not compromising detail or structure. Added to his reputation are, his ''tala-specific'' renditions, highlighting patterns contouring the tala orientation. His lyrical displays of rhythmic aesthetics in ''mridangam'' playing have been the object lessons of the percussionists' logistics. He has dedicated himself for the cause and propagation of Carnatic music in North America in more than one way: as academician, global artist, composer, and collaborator. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trichy Sankaran」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
