BACKGROUND OF HARI KUMAR
A disciple of violin virtuoso Dr. L. Subramanian, Harikumar sivan is one of the most talented young violinists from Kerala, India. Hari has won several prizes in school youth festivals. At the age of seventeen, he got ‘A’ Grade from All India Radio. Vayalin Mantrikan, and Villin Selvan are the other two titles he has received from Chennai-based cultural organizations.
Of all honours, he considers the prize he had received from the Former President K.R. Narayanan for the most outstanding young violinist, the topmost one.

Harikumar is at present concentrating on popularizing his solo concerts and fusion music all over world. He is presently working on his new album. It may be amazing to see his fingers speeding through the five octaves on his four-stringed violin. He is one of the very few violinists who can play five octaves in a four-stringed violin. He has developed a unique bowing style. The super strucato he incorporates in his bowing method is really amazing to the spectators.
