Yehudi Munuheen

A great violin is alive,

its every shape embodies its maker’s intentions and its wood stores the history or the soul, of its successive owners. I never play without feeling that I have released or alas, violated spirits.

Pandit Damodar Keshav Datar’s life was a harmonious symphony, a testament to the transformative power of music and a reminder of the profound impact one individual can have on the world through their artistry.
