It was a nice concert presented by the team of Sathya - Keyboard, Sri Ananthapadmanabha – Violin, Sri Arjun Ganesh – Mrudhangam and Sri J Sowrirajan on Ghatam & Morsing at Arulmigu Navasakthi Vinayagar Temple, Luz, Mylapore on the 19th Sep’07. It was well attended and received by a good number of audience.
Sathya preferred to present this as a thematic concert i.e. krithis based on Lord Vinayaka and performed few krithis which he was attempting first time on stage. Starting with Sree Gana Pathimbaje on Sourastram the team performed 10 krithis in all concluding the concertt with a mangalam on ragam Madhyamavathi.
While it was supposed to have been 9 krithis, Sathya performed one more as the time was extended and performed a rasika's request of a krithi on lord Ganesa namely Mahaganapathim on Naatai.
All the krithis had at-least an outline of the raga and Sathya elaborated Gowla and Shanmugapriya which were taken as sub main and main for the day. He also performed kalpanaswarams for Vathapi with niraval in “Pranava Swarupa”, Gowla, Shanmugapriya and Thillang.
Ananthapdamanabha who was enhancing Sathya’s concert after a long gap was excellent through out the concert and excelled during his solo. He was found appreciating many phrases on alalapanas and swaras of Sathya – a good way of encouraging. Arjun Ganesh was at his best with superb presentation which paved way for the enhancements of the concert as a whole along with Sowrirajan who was handling Ghatam & Morsing appropriately. The crisp thani was an exhibition of both the artists high talents.

The voice recorder which we tried to record this concert with, did not not work due to power problem. Thanks to Muthu Audios and the temple authorities we could get the recording in a tape to convert to mp3 files. However the recording starts a little late in the first krithi and also the tape ran out of time because of which the last two krithis were not recorded.
