A grand begining at Velachery for Nadasudha on 01 January, 2010

It was indeed a grand New Year 2010 for us in the family as Nadasudha had provided oppurtunity for Mother and son to perform on the 1st Jan'10. Yes Smt K. Lalitha mother of Sathya performed a concert form 3:30 to 5pm and Sathya performed from 6: 30 to 9pm at Sri Ganabapthi Sachidhanandha ashram premisses Baby Nagar, Velachery.

Smt. Lalitha's concert was followed by Sri Rithvik Raja's concert and then Sathya was onstage with new set of enhancing artists in the combination of Sri. M. A. Sundaresan on Violin, Sri. J. Vaidhyanathan on Mudhangama and Sri E.M.Subramaniam on the Ghatam. It was informed that Sathya had a large audience till then during that concert and it numbered over 175 people at the hall.   Both Sri Balasubramaniams - resident and Secretary were happy on seeing the turn out.


Sathya started the concert with Sri Sukram and on request of the manager of the ashram played Reethigowla raga allapana followed by Thanam and presented Janani Ninuvina a Subraya Sastrigal krithi . He also tried the anandhaBhairavi krithi ThyagarajaYoga Vaibhavam set to Rupaka thalam for teh first time and was well received. Sri Sundaresan lauded the efforts of Sathya and as Mr Balasubramanian, Preseident of the sabha spoke on the questioning of this very instrument in Carnatic forum, a rasika who understandably is the nephew of a great singer seconded the thoughts of Mr balu who was very much appreciative of teh performance of Sathya which was also appreciated by the audience who had stayed back for the full concert.
