Kadri Gopalnath was once a young boy, captivated and enthralled by the euphonious tunes emanating from a shiny saxaphone as he watched a musician in the Mysore Palace Band. He has, since then, come a long - long way to master the very same instrument, adapting it in ways that were previously unheared of taking Carnatic Music to epic heights.
Born on 6th December, 1948 in a humble family in Panemangalore, Karnataka, Gopalnath found himself exposed to music at a fairly early age being the son of SMT. GANGAMMA and SRI. THANIYAPPAYA who was a Nadhaswaram Vidwan himself.
