It was indeed a great start for Sathya - 1st Dec'07 at Bharat Kalachar for the December Music festival 2007 with a well presented Jugalbandhi with B. Ananthakrishnan - Hindustani vocal, S.J. Arjun Ganesh on Mrudhangam and N. Sundar on Tabla. The team presented 5 pieces in all starting with Hamsadwani followed by Dharbari & Dharbari Kaanada, Yaman & Kalyani, Dhanashree Thillana and rounded off with BagyadhalakshmiBaramma. They presented with both of them taking part in each number without crossing their boundaries and did not perform any individual number. It was also due to the time factor as the concert started little behind the schedule due to the prize distribution function.
Sathya was performing Carnatic on Keyboard and also backed up Ananthakrishnan's Hindustani with Harmonium tone. This in particular was much appreciated as he did not mix up any where. Ananthakrishnan laid hands on the violin for Hamsadwani. The following excerpts form the speeches of Dr. Mrs. YGP and Mr YG Mahendra gives an over all view of the concert.
Pls listen to the tracks and the speech which are not edited except that the order of speech is changed to Mrs YGP, Mr YGM and then self. Mrs YGP appreciated the prowess of Sathya to play both Carnatic while being in lead and back up for Hindustani without mixing. She was all praise for Ananthakrishnan's ability to sing Hindustani vocal as generally he is know as a good violin artist in the music circle. The efforts of Arjun Ganesh and Sundar was also appreciated by her. However she felt that the two artist were too good in their genre of music and it was probably not good to take it in a mixed form. She preferred to see them perform individual concert and this probably is in itself a great success for the artist. She did say that while she prefers to listen them individually, their efforts on date was commendable.
Mr YG Mahendra mentioned that he liked the concept and was in praise for both the artist. Mr YGM was all praise for their excellent control and not mixing up any where any time. He wished them all success and asked them to continue doing this concept maintaining their un mixed presentation keeping their domain clear. He also indicated that to satisfy Mrs YGP two individual concerts would be given next year.

Looking forward to audience strength like this in all the season concerts in all and for Sathya's in particular.
