heArtbeat concerts for Kalarasana & Chennaiyil Thiruvaiyaru December 2009

heArtbeat concerts are always close to Sathya's heart and so was these two in particular the first one on 19th Dec'09 at Kalarasana. This forum we will never forget as they gave the first recognition for Sathya to perform a 3 hr concert on the 23rd Dec'04. What a moment it was!! We are deeply indebted to Sri Srinivasan and the entire team of Kalarasana for the great thought and Sathya with the grace of the Almighty has been trying to full fill the expectations thus far & continue to strive hard to live up to the same.


The team of Dr. S. Karthick on Vocal, Ghatam & Konnakol with Embar Kannan on Suilent Violin, Sri Poongulam Subramanian on Mrudhangam, Arunkumar on Rhythm Pad and Sundarkumar on Kanjeera with Sagayam doing the PA was indeed very good and the audience appreciated the team's effort in a great way. Infact there was a couple who i saw them going out early and when i was checking for thereason, they said it was theri misfortune that a work suddenly came through, thanks to cell phone, if not they would never ever leave this early with the gret performance going on. A real complimant for the team indeed! The main piece was a RTP on ragam Vakulabaranam a Melakartha ragam set to Misra Thriputa thalam. Embar Kannan & Sathya excelled in their allapanas and in the ragamalika kalpanaswaram with each of them taking 2 different ragas and expanding them.  Keep it up team heArtbeat!

Chennaiyil Thiruvaiyaru concert on the 21st Dec'09 with the same team with the addition of  eswar the hambura which was gifter to asthya by them. Eswar was indeed a great contributor to this show with great Thambudra Nadham which created a good ambiance. In this concert the team took the audience with the Shanmugapriya composition of Dr. Ghatam Karthick with the lines starting - Om Saravanabhava
                                     
Shanmuuga Azhaga Muruga. The percussion team went on a good thani avarthanam with Dr. Karthcik on the konnakol also. The team gave a great treat for the large audience and Saravana Audios was very much appreciated by the team for having given an excellent support on the audio. The visual clips were also great and kudos to the team which is working for Kalaignar TV this time around. Another successful heartbeat concert and Dr. Karthcik & team is indeed a great one to watch out in the years to come.
