Concert for Sri Parthasarathy Sabha after 5 years on 27th Dec'07


It was a sort of home coming for Sathya when he performed for Sri Parthasarathy Swami Sabha on the 27th Dec'07 after one of the first official December season concerts he performed here in 2002. He got a great team of Rajeev on violin, Sri Erode Nagaraj on Mrudhangam and Sri Venkatsubramaniam on Ghatam as enhancement artist for this concert. Starting with a Tamil varnam - Anname in ragam Arabi the team presented a melodious concert overall, thanks to the PA system which was of great standard. The good turnout of knowledgeable audience for this concert was also a reason for the success of the concert.

Rajeev was apt in his alapanas and gave his varieties in the kalpanaswaram section. Sri Nagaraj on Mrudhangam was performing for the first time with Sathya and he was all praise for Sathya in his efforts. He was enjoying Sathya's style of playing and enhanced the concert in a big way. His thani with Venkatasubramaniam was well received and the team should be meeting very often as the co-ordination looked very impressive. The details of the krithis performed are as under:
