He has collaborated with many eminent dancers and musicians like Smt. Padma Subramaniam, Smt. Vani Jayaram, and Sri S.P. Balasubrahmanyam. His contributions have earned him titles such as Asthana Vidwan of the Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam, Venu Vadhana Visharadha, and Yuva Pradeepa.
With his rich heritage, refined artistry, and commitment to teaching, Guru C.V. Sudhakar continues to inspire and nurture the next generation of Carnatic flautists.
