Saraswathi

Saraswathi brings with her a legacy of firsts. She is the first Indian woman and Veena artiste to win a Chicago Music Award in its thirty-five-year history, the first Veena artiste to perform as an orchestra member of Disney’s Jungle Book production, and the first Veena artiste to receive a $10,000 grant from the Logan Foundation in Chicago. She attributes her path-carving success to the inclusive energy in her music and in her life. Her goal? Bring artists and listeners together as one community united in music and understanding. – Worded by Stephanie Jones, Jazzspeak.org
