Concert at Vidhya Vinayagar Temple, Nellore 04 Sep'08

Public concerts are always challenging as we get the complete attention of the audience and you are expected to give your best to the satisfaction of them. Well a real difficult task which however Sathya & his team of Pakala Jayaprakash on Violin, Thillaisthanam Suriyanarayanan on Mrudhangam and Hariharasubramanian on Ghatam & Morsing managed well and won the hearts of a large aucience who had turned out to listen to this concert.

Being a concert for Vinayagar Chaturthi, Sathya for the first part performed 4 Vinayagar krithis each followed by one other composition. His alapanas and kalpana swarams were matched well by Jayaprakash on violin. Suriyanarayanan and Hariharasubramanian were at their very best right from the word go and enhanced the concert in all the ways possible. as requested by the audience Sidhivinaagam in ragam Shanmugapirya set to Rupaka thalam was performed as the main krithi with ragamalika of bindhumalini and Kalyani performed both in alalpana & kalpanaswara

Dr Sainath, a leading Musicologist and Sri Suresh a famous vidwan of Nellore were also there almost for the entire concert and gave their impressions after the thani. They were very specific in appreciating Sathya's efforts on the nuances performed on the keyboard and also appreciated teh team for having a great coordination. Special thanks to Sri Balaji, Gurukal of the temple who had initiated this concert with the temple authority Mr Sankar. The way we were treated by Sri Sankar's family members only made us understand how they give importance to the phrase "Adithi Devo bhava". After the fifth song, many in the audience who were moved by Sathya's efforts, started giving him gifts in cash after each song and you find one young child doing the same above. A great blessing for the team.

These kind of cocnerts raise the confidence levels of every artist and yes Sathya now is looking forward to his trip to Sringeri for a concert on the 14th Sep'08 at the Sringeri Math and we are sure he will be blessed by the divine god and the Acharya Guru there.
