Chennaiyil Thiruvaiyaru - Sathya in Kamaraj Hall for the first time




It was indeed a great moment for Sathya as he was playing a concert just after his guru Kalaimamani Kum. A Kanyakumari had performed a concert with his uncle Embar. S.Kannan for Chennaiyil Thiruvaiyaru. This was also the first time Sathya was performing at the Kamaraj Hall a full length concert and had the blessings of both his guru and uncle staying for some time before leaving the hall. He was also blessed with the presence of Sri Guitar Prasanna for almost close to 45 mts. Sri Prasanna & his father were all praise for Sathya's ability to bring the nuances of carnatic on the keyboard and expressed same to Sathya's mother before leaving the hall. All credits to the organisers of this event especially to Sri Coimbatore Gopinathan, Smt Kala Iyer and Laxman Sruthi for having this oppurtunity to Sathya.

Coming to the concert Sathya had his team of B Ananthakrishnan on Violin, Thillaisthanam Suriyanarayanan on Mrudhangam and HariharSubramaniam on the Ghatam.
