Concert at Austin on April 12, 2009



It was another hard day for the team of Sathya as they slept late on April 11, 2009 after returning home late and had to wake up at 330 am as the flt to Austin was via Chicago which was to depart at 6Am. The team arrived around 230pm at Austin concert venue and after having a sound check with Mr DAN the engineer, performed a good concert with a local vidwan Sri Surya KSubramaniam (mrudhangam student of Sri M.V. Hariharan) who joined us on the kanjeera. Sri Nagarajan and his wife were so happy to have organised this concert as they said they were planning same as suggested by Sri Ravikiran, couple of years ago. Great ashirvadham for Sathya indeed!

It was a two hour concert and the team's presentation was well received and appreciated by a good number of audience who attended. Sri Surya Subramaniam was thankful to Sri Poongulam Subramaniam and the rest of the artist team for having him perform for this concert. After the concert Sri Nagarajan, the organiser informed that he would try and promote Sathya's fusion concepts too as lec-dems in Universities in Austin during the future visits as he mentioned that Austin is one of the musical capital of USA.
