Carmen Tiwari (Kalawati)

Carmen Dumitrescu - Kalawati (BA&MA in Hindistani classical music),  is one of the  rare musicians from Europe to have taken a plunge into exploring the depths of Indian classical music as a performing vocalist, under the guidance of the acclaimed Patiala Gharana vocalist, Mahuya Mukherjee ji.  In her early childhood she had the great fortune to
meet H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi,  whom she has received her Self Realization from. Once she started meditating, she developed a special sensitivity for the ancient classical music of India as she was able to perceive its divinity, and was truly fascinated by its depth. 
Kalawati performed in India, Europe (Italy, France, Belgium, Spain, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Romania, Bulgaria) and USA.  Apart from appreciations and accolades from great maestros, she was awarded Sangeet Ratna Sammaan Award ("Treasure of music"), Sangeet Suvarna Mani Award ("Gold of music") and Sangeet Shiromani Award ("Crest Jewel of music").
