Sathya with his uncle Embar S. Kannan at Madurai Sathguru Sangeetha Samajam 20 Sep'08

Sathya received one of the best compliments after a concert performance, from Embar S. Kannan - his uncle, who was with Sathya enhancing the concert with Thillaisthanam R. Suriyanarayanan on Mrudhangam and S. Hariharasubramanian on the Ghatam. Appreciation was not only for the presentation but also for the list of krithis selected apart from the fact that this one of the fisrt concert Sathya was performing without his father (myself) being present on stage. (May be a blessing too!)

I received call from Sri Balu, who was instrumental for this concert arrangement with Sri Dasaratha Raja of Rajapalayam. Mr Balu informed that the audience present in good number were so happy on the performance of Sathya and team. He said being first time a keyboard concert was being presented in the Samajam, they were little apprehensive but the performance had got the best appreciation of one and all present. They now look forward to Sathya being featured on regular basis.

The only disappointment was that the Transcend recorder which is normally used in all Sathya's concert failed and so audio was not recorded. H/ever thanks to Sathya's mother, clippings of video are available and you can view same in the following link.


The list of krithis rendered are as follows:

01. Varnam - Natakurinji - Adi 02. Sri Mahaganapathim - Gowla - Misrachapu [S] 03. Paripalayamam - Reethigowla - Rupakam [R & S] 04. Balasarasamurali - Keeravani - Adi 05. Meenakshi - Poorvikalyani - Adi [R & S] 06. Venkatachalanilayam - Sindhubhairavi - Adi
