January 09, 2011 - Concert for IIT Music Club under Youth Festival

As part of the 2011 Youth Music festival Sathya performed in IIT for their Music Club for the first time and incidentally this has come on All India Radio giving the recognition for the instrument! May be it is a coincidence! The team comprised of M. Rajeev on Violin, Sumesh Narayanan on Mrudhangam and Sunilkumar on Kanjeera. The PA system was of great order and all this ensured that the concert reached the knowledgeable audience in the right manner.


Sathya started the concert with Dr. Balamuralikrishna's varnam in the ragam Shanmugapriya and as this was his first concert in IIT Youth Fest decided to do a small lec-dem on the usage of the gadget's in the instrument in producing the nuances of Carnatic  music! The idea was Rajeev to take up a raga and Sathya to present same on the keyboard and  leaving the judgment to the audience regarding the level Sathya could match! Here Prof. Narendran was present and he suggested to take up all gana ragas namely Bhairavi, Kalyani, Kamboji, Thodi, and Sankarabaranam. The fact is that after the concert Prof. Narendran has got good impression on Sathya and he is already a good well wisher now to him! A great personal milestone for Sathya to have won the heart of a good Vainika and a knowledgeable person!
