Concert at Kala Bharathi- Vizag on 31st Jul'07



It was indeed one of the best auditorium Sathya has performed in India at Kala Bharathi for Visaka Music and Dance Academy, Visagapatinam on the 31st July'07. While not much of concerts happened in July the ones performed were indeed great ones with Sastri Hall concert for Balaganamrutham and the wedding concert for Sri Sadha's son's wedding on the 10th Jul'07.

This 2 hr 45 mts concert was enhanced by Karaikal Venkatasubramaniam (disciple of Sri T. N. Krishnan) - Violin, Thillaisthanam Suriyanarayanan (disciple of Sri Kumbakonam Rajappa Iyer and Sri Thanjavur Kumar) - Mrudhangam and Sri K.V. Ramakrishna, Tenali (disciple of Sri B.V. Prasad) Ghatam. The person behind the PA system was indeed one of the best enhancers of the concert.

As requested by Sri Sri Rambabu, Trustee of the Academy, Sathya presented a concert of great value to bring out the nuances of carnatic music during the concert. Starting of with Abogi varnam Sathya elaborated Hamsadwani, Nagaswarali, Vakulabaranam & Shanmugapriya ragas during the alapana and special mention was for the sruthibetham he effected to bring in Srothaswani during the alap of Shanmugapriya. and the thanam played during the RTP. Every one appreciated the thala gnana of Sathya and the thillana composed by Kalaimamani Ku,. A. Kanyakumari stole the entire show at the end. All the enhancement artists enjoyed the concert and so was Sathya which made this concert a great success.

The authorities indeed were happy to have had a decent turnout for the concert and promised to patronize Sathya continuously in the future. This was indeed a great credit for Sathya's efforts as it was indeed a great forum of knowledgeable audience. Mr Rambabu, Trustee (on the extreme right) and Dr P.V.C.
