They have received additional training from <i>Sangeetha Kalanidhi</i> Sri Pada Pinakapani and his well-known disciple, <i>Sangeetha Kalanidhi</i> Nedunuri Krishnamurthy who, realizing the potential of Malladi Brothers, took them under his guidance to represent his rich style of music. A large repertoire of Carnatic compositions and possession of vibrant and powerful voices have made Sreeram Prasad and Ravikumar the most sought after young maestros. Their musical intellect, melody & aesthetics provide for a most scintillating concert.
