It was another blessed oppurutunity for Sathya to perform in the 262 nd Aradhana of Sri Narayana Theerthar at Thirupoonthurthi which is being celebrated from 2 - 14th Feb'08. Sathya also had a teamed up for the first time with Sherthalai Shivakumar on Violin, Sherthalai Ananthakrishnan on Mrudhangam and Nerkunam Sankar (who incidently held a remembarance day for the great Kalaimamani Harishankar - the synonym of Kanjeera) on Kanjeera. Sathya had learnt this great composer's tharangam, thanks to Sri Yessel, an active member of rasikapriya & carnaticsangeetham- yahoo groupss, who had helped with tracks of tharngams sung by Sri Udayalur Kalyanaraman.
Sathya learnt around 8 of them and performed 5 from this, apart from one in Neelambari he had already learnt, as per details below. Sri Shivakumar who also performs violin accompaniment with Sri Udayalur Kalyanaraman appreciated Sathya's efforts in learning those tracks and playing to his best in ashort time. Sri Ananthakrishnan on Mrudhangam and Sankar on Kanjeera encouraged and embalished the concert in a great way. While the audience appreciated Sathya's efforts special applause was given for the tharangams in ragam Kalyani & Neelambari This team looked good as though they had been perfoming for nth concert even though it was the first time they were playing together. Look forward to this set many more times in the future.
It was also nice to see Sathya's well wisher's, like Sri Subramaniam (Nalinakanthi & Hamsavinodhini), Sri Gopal from Chennai & Smt Swarna Swaminathan family from Pondy to name a few blessing him with their presence.
