Park Copncerts for Chennai Sangamam on 12th & 14th Jan'09



Sathya got oppurtunity to perform in this year's Chennai Sangamam conducted by Tamizh Maiyam in coordination with the Government of TamilNadu for two occasions. The first one was in heArtbeat Ensemble on the 12th at Thiru Vi ka Park in Valasaravakam which had huge audience and we were so happy to see a general crowd taking our type of music. Embar Kannan gave a detailed raga aalapana on Rathipathipriya and Sathya gave his turn on Vanaspathi. The way Ghatam Dr Karthick has been handling the presentation is worth mentioning and his singing has also improved leaps & bounds.

The second one was at Tower Park, Anna Nagar on the 14th Jan'09 morning 6:30 - 7:30am which had a good response with most of the audience in the category of Upper Class. As Sathya was performing with Karaikal Venkatasubramanian on the violin, Thillaisthanam Suriyanarayanan on Mrudhangam, HariharaSubramanaian on Ghatam and Krishnababu on Thalam, rain started pouring and the team had to rush up packing the instruments after about 40 mts of the concert duration. Looking forward to continued oppurtunity in the coming years too from Chennai Sangamam.
