MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay\ntribute to Dr. Lakshminarayana Subramaniam for his contributions to\nclassical music. Dr. Subramaniam's achievements have reshaped and added\na new dimension to a genre of music which so many people enjoy.\n  Dr. Subramaniam has earned degrees in Western Classical composition,\ndistinctions in western violin studies, classical Carnatic music, and\nmedicine. This unique combination of classical western and South Indian\nmusic led Dr. Subramaniam to develop not only a new style of orchestral\nwriting, but a new genre altogether.\n  As one of India's most prolific composers, Dr. Subramaniam has\ncollaborated, conducted, and performed with world class orchestras and\nmusicians from all over the globe at some of music's most famous\nvenues. To date, Dr. Subramaniam has worked with over 50 orchestras,\nincluding the New York Philharmonic, the London Symphony Orchestra, the\nSwiss Romande, and the Royal Oman Symphony. His recorded collaborations\nwith musicians include Yehudi Menuhin, Stephane Grappelli, Joe Sample,\nand George Harrison. The sounds of Dr. Subramaniam's compositions have\ngraced the halls of venues like the Lincoln Center, the Tchaikovsky\nHall, Zhongshan Music Hall, and the Gewandhaus. Dr. Subramaniam is one\nof only a handful of living composers with over 150 live performances\nof his various orchestral works.\n  In 1992, Dr. Subramaniam co-founded the Lakshminarayana Global Music\nFestival, which showcases various genres from a multitude of different\nartists. The event has been held in 55 cities in 22 countries, drawing\naudiences of up to 200,000 people. In 2007, Dr. Subramaniam co-founded\nthe Subramaniam Academy of Performing Arts, a global music institute\nlocated in Bangalore which exposes its young students to music from all\nover the world.\n  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating Dr.\nSubramaniam for his contributions to the musical world. Dr.\nSubramaniam's achievements in composition, conduction, and orchestral\nperformance are truly unparalleled.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2016-12-23-pt1-PgE1738-2"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.5083149299025536, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
