Shruthi had its humble beginnings on 20th March, 1993 and the initiative was mainly by Dr Kuna Iyenkaran. Mr Param, Mrs Saras Param, Dr Mallika Prasad, Mr Krishnamoorthy, Mrs Raji Krishnamurthy, Mrs Prema Iyer were the initial people amongst many others, who worked with Dr Kuna Iyenkaran enabling Shruthi to organize several events.
There were around 10 families who were keenly interested in promoting art and culture that were predominantly south Indian in nature. A few people who could sing were roped in to start an informal gathering. Initially, film music with ragam based songs/dance were encouraged. The nomenclature – Shruthi- is based on the 7 musical notes and the logo came much later. Functions of this group were attended by people who originated from India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Australia and other countries.
Shruthi, in addition to bringing music lovers, scouted for new talents amongst young and old and brought them together on stage thereby promoting talents and developing confidence. It has been and continues to be successful to a large extent in achieving this and hopes to continue this good work. Shruthi nurtures talent through vocal and instrumental music, dance and other art forms. The Shruthi Committee was formed informally with Krishnamoorthy and others volunteering to run the show.
