May 23rd 2009 Concert for IACRF & CIMANA - New Jersey



This concert was one like we do a concert in Chennai, the artist had to met directly on stage as they were split into two groups in New Jersey. Being the first day of the long weekend here in USA, The audience turnout was slow and considering the timing of 11 - 130pm it was not really bad as informed by the organisers. Mr Ramanathan, office bearer of IACRF also announced that it was worth attending the concert considering the talent Sathya showcased today irrespective of any day or time and place. A great recognition indeed from a great person!.

Thanks to Smt. Jayashree Venkatraman, the videos has been thoughtfully taken and i am sure every one will enjoy the same. The Varali raga aalapana and the karaharapriya krithi renditions were in particular, praised by Smt Jayashree Venkatraman and Embar Kannan in fact appreciated the raga aalapanas. The thani avarthanam by Poongulam Subramnian was mesmorizing to the effect that both Sathya & Embar Kannan were stunned and did not even take the krithi on place and were appreciating his efforts and this was also well taken by the audience also.
