Professor Emeritus Trichy Sankaran (Music) was honoured as a Rhythmfest Legend of Rhythm at this year’s festival in August. An Indian percussionist, one of the foremost virtuosos of the mridangam, and the founding director of Indian music studies at York, this is one many accolades in his distinguished career. Rhythmfest is a one-day celebration of the universal language of rhythm held annually in Barrie, Ontario. The event featured performances by Dr Sankaran and his students.
