Sathya on 11th Jan'08 at Nageswara Rao Park for Chennai Sangam





Sathya after the concert in the morning went straight to school for writing the exam and later proceeded to IIT for the rehearsal. After the show at IIT for the inauguration of Chennai Sangamam Sathya reached home around 11pm on the 10th night and was already in the car at 530pm to got to Nageswara Rao Park, Mylapore on the 11th morning to perform a concert from 630 - 8am under Chennai Sangamam. For the first time he was teamed up with Harisundar on Mrudhangam and Ananthakrishnan was on violin. The trio gave an excellent performance.

Sathya with self decided to present a jugalbandhi based on Hindolam, Malkowns, Ragashree, Kalyani & Mohanam seeing the interest shown by the audience. Both Ananthakrishnan and Harisundar jumped on the idea and there was a marvelous exhibition of a jugalbandhi concept by the Trio which was welcomed by one and all. Many expressed that it was indeed a first time experience of having to hear good traditional carnatic, devotional, Hindustani and some light classical from an artist with no planning. This is indeed a feather in Sathya's cap!!!

Smt Vimala Jayaraman said that she was about to leave the park after the daily routine of her Yoga but was pulled by Sathya's music performance and was glued ill the end. She remarked that she probably need not go to a temple as she could feel the god's presence in the music of Sathya. Smt Girija also a regular visitor to the park appreciated the musical expressions of Sathya with the keyboard and blessed him to reach greater heights. Sri Seattle Raman who also was there taking his morning walk appreciated Sathya's manodharma and wished to him tour USA soon. Many of the morning walkers expressed that they were happy to have been there to listen to Sathya's musical expressions during their walk and that it gives them lot of peace. The perfect end to the concept was given with Ragupathy raghava rajaram in which almost all the audience joined in reciting it. The krithis performed are as under.
