December 03, 2013 Inaugural Concert of Brahma Gana Sabha!

It was indeed a greatest day for Sathya as this concert was attended by a fairly good crowd and most importantly by the Legendary Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna sir, who took his time and stayed back to listen to his sishya's performance for almost half an hour after he inaugurated the Music Festival 2013 of BGS at Sivagami Pethachi Auditorium!

Sathya aptly stared the concert with his Guru's composition 'Pari Pari' in Hamsadwani and we could see the blessings of the Legendary Guruji with his acknowledgement for good phrases and also during the kalpanaswarams. The team of Smt. Padma Shankar on violin, Sri. J. Vaidhyanathan on Mrudhangam and Sri. K. V. Gopalakirshnan on Kanjeera enjoyed every moment of his stay and were really blessed. The audio team also presented a good work and the concert was indeed a great success!

Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna ji, while leaving the hall had praised Sathya and the team's presentation so highly with Sathya's grand father who was overjoyed with the Legendary's presence! The details of the krithis performed are as under and we request you to kindly spare some time to listen to the tracks in the link 2013_BGS-concert-dec0313 and give your feedback, when you find time!
