The Music Academy announced a Special Lifetime Achievement Award to be conferred on ghatam maestro T.H. Vinayakram, fondly known as ‘Vikku’ Vinayakram.
The award does not fall under the institution’s annual recognition and honors.
It is conferred, once in a while, on artists of outstanding calibre who, the Music Academy feels, deserve independent recognition.
He has already received the Sangita Kala Acharya Award of the Academy.
The earlier recipients were dancer Kamala Lakshminarayanan and violinist Lalgudi G. Jayaraman.
