A successful concert for Padma Sarangapani Cuyltural Academy - Villiwakkam on 30th Dec'07


A back to back concert in the evening after the Vanimahal concert in the morning was meant to be little stressful but Sathya took it in his stride and came out successful. With Trivandrum Balaji on Mrudhangam opting out due to ill health Thillaisthanam Sruyinarayanan fitted in to the team which had Kandadevi Vijayaraghavan on violin and Valingaiman HariharaSubramanian on the Ghatam. The energy level was so high that the four on stage were competting and complimenting each other which paved for a great concert performance for the well attended show. Sathya took up Charukesi as the main raga for the day and gave an excellent presentation which was matched note to note by Kandadevi Vijayaraghavan on violin. The percussion team of Suri & Hari perfoemd well through out and gave a good sweet thani.

The success of the concert was seen when the Sri Varadhan, President of the forum confirmed a 2 and half hour concert at their branch in Saligramma for the 3rd Jan'09. What else can be the emasure of success after a performance! The details of teh songs rendered are as follows:
