It was indeed a difficult job handed over the the team of Embar Kannan on silent violin, Ponngulam Subramanian on Mrudhangam Sathya on keyboard and Sriram on Rhythm Pad & Morsing to perform the heArtbeat ensemble concept in the absence of Dr. Ghatam Karthick at the Livermore Temple on the 2nd May'09. Yes as Dr Karthick could not make it due to unforeseen circumstances, Poongulam Subramanian acted as the "Pacemaker" for this "heArt to beat" taking up Vocal, Kanjeera and Konnakol to make this concert a grand success. Poongulam sang an outstanding melody for Shanmugapriya and he was appreciated not only by the audience but also by Embar Kannan for his great efforts.
Embar Kannan took up the role of compering along with his usual best violin rendition with Sathya & Sriram doing their best and the team was praised for their grand show yesterday. The raga aalapana for Rathipathipriya, Vanaspathi and Shanmugarpriya by Embar Kannan and Jog & Shanmugapriya by Sathya were simply outstanding. Sathya's support on keypads & bass guitar support for Vanaspathi piece were note worthy. Here is the link for the video clippings and hope everyone enjoys the same. The entire, almost full house, audience gave a standing ovation and there was also lots of youth who had attended the concert turned up at the end to enquire on nuances of carnatic on keyboard and also to know about the silent violin played by Embar Kannan. The success was known with lots of mails reaching the same night to congratulate the team on their splendid performance.
