Presenting the Assembly proclamations to the couple at a function organized by America Tamil Sangam and Shri Vari Foundation in picturesque Swan Club in Long Island, Chivukula said at a very young age, Dr Subramaniam was honored with the title “Violin Chakravarthy” (emperor of the violin). No other musician can boast of such diverse repertoire and collaborations, or even such mind-boggling techniques. Chivukula said Kavita’s singing career reads like a fairy tale.

Her exquisite and mellifluous voice, wide range and, versatility to sing different styles and types of songs has put her in a unique place amongst singers and she has been quoted as a melody queen by leading critics and connoisseurs alike.
