The world has long known Chandrika Tandon as a visionary—an artist whose music transcends borders, a leader whose generosity uplifts communities, and a soul whose very presence radiates warmth. With her Grammy Award win for Triveni, she has once again shined a spotlight on the power of music to heal, unite, and inspire.
The Indo-American Arts Council (IAAC), which has long cherished Tandon as both an artistic force and a dear patron, celebrates this moment with immense pride. Her unwavering support of IAAC’s programming has enriched the arts in countless ways, and we had the distinct honor of hosting a book talk for her deeply personal work, Ammu’s Treasures, inspired by the songs she sings to her grandchildren.
“Chandrika Tandon’s Grammy win is a testament to her unparalleled artistry and her ability to elevate Indian classical music on the global stage,” said Rakesh Kaul, Vice Chairman of IAAC. “Her work embodies the essence of cultural harmony, and we are thrilled to see her receive this well-deserved recognition.”
“Chandrika’s music is one for the soul. Beautifully blending ancient healing chants with Western elements, she creates something divine that transcends boundaries, touching hearts across the world. This Grammy is not just a personal achievement but a celebration of the rich cultural heritage she represents,” added Suman Gollamudi, IAAC’s Executive Director.
There are artists, and then there are those rare luminaries who make the world brighter simply by being in it. Chandrika Tandon is one of them. Her Grammy win is not just a recognition of musical excellence—it is a reminder that passion, purpose, and generosity can transform lives.
The IAAC, along with admirers across the globe, stands in awe of her brilliance and rejoices in this well-deserved honor.
