First Time for Karthik Fine Arts during December festival 11th Dec'09




First of all our apology for having mentioned wrongly the venue details for this concert int eh flyers which we had given initially. In fact we felt bad when couple of the people called and asked about the venue after reaching BVB mini Hall instead of Narada Gana Sabha. A reminder to be more cautious in future.

This is the first time Sathya has got an opportunity to perform for Karthk Fine Arts and it was indeed a great presentation considering that Akkarai Swarnalatha joining after a long time and SriManakal Sriram for the first time with Sathya. Both of them were brilliant and enhanced the concert very well. The audince turn out was also good throughout the concert. Ms Swarnalatha was at her best in the raaga aalapana of Vasantha and also was sharp in the responses to kalpanaswras. Sri Mankal Sriram was very enthusiastic and encouraging and played a good thani which was indeed treat to the audince. A good concert in all accounts and the list of the krithis presented are as under.
