Sridhar Bhagavathula

plays the traverso and runs Musica Orphei, a boutique record label. He performs as a duo with harpsichordist Heejin Kim. Their new EP, Bells of Morn, features JS Bach’s sonata BWV 1027. Previously, they released Through a Glass Darkly, an album of the sonatas BWV 525, 1034, and 1030. These recordings aim to capture the natural sounds of live performance.

Sridhar shares videos on his YouTube channel and essays on Cultural Insomnia, his sporadic gazette. Write to sridhar dot bhagavathula at gmail dot com—if a response is slow to come, rest assured the fault lies entirely with him.
