It is indeed a great honour for the instrument & the artist to get an oppurtunity to perform for a a forum to the stature of Sri Rama Seva Samidhi, Seshadripuram, Bangalore and Keybaord & Sathya got it on the 16th April'07. As Prof Venkatesh who had taken care of the artists and also has the habit of checking with the rasikas of their likings indidcated to Sathya to perform certain krithis songs numbers 01, 02, 05 & 11) and hope Sathya performed to his satisfaction & that of the audience who had given songs requests on stage (song numbers 06, 07 & 10).


With established artists in Sri VV Ravi on Vviolin, Sri Trivandrum Balaji on Mrudhangam and Sri EM Subramaniam on the Ghatam enhancing the concert Sathya used the oppurtunity to present a concert which was welcomed by a large turnout of audience.

Sathya while doing swara-ragamalika in the main krithi Inthasowkyamu on Kaapi tried to present a korvai which had the all the swaras pertaining to the ragas performed namely - Kaapi, Priyadharshini, Hamsadwani & Hamsanadham and this was well appreciated. Sri VV Ravi's tonnel quality of violin was superb and so was his accompaniment and the alapans and swaras performed. Sri Trivandrum Balaji and EM Subramaniam gave the best of enhancement to Sathya and excelled in their thani.

It was so moving that Sri A Nagarajan - an ardent carnatic fan who was attending this concert went out for a while and turned to up with a Silver Frame and presented to Sathya in memory of his wife Smt Nagarajan - a great Music Devotee.
