Sathya was extended special praise for his own composition and the medley & Sri Premkumar was appreciated for his grand solo. The team was encouraged as well and they gave an excellent presentation. Their performance was very important for the organizer’s to award the title of “Aasthana Vidwan” to both Sathya and Mr Prem, with their great enhancement.
