It has been a dream come true situation for Sathya as he is actually now in USA for a concert tour. Yes thanks to Smt. Bhargavi Sundararajan (who had first planned his tour in 2007), Smt. Kala Iyer and efforts of Late Coimbatore Sri. C. R. Gopinathan, this has become a reality now. Sathya is scheduled for week end concerts from the April 04th till May 31st, 2009. The team of Sathya with Sri Embar S. Kannan & Sri Poongulam Subramaniam are reached Portland on the 3rd April at 12noon and did a lec dem at "Intel" at 4:30pm which was indeed a miracle, considering the jetlag and the time difference! Yes it all was possible just because of the Almighty's grace!
The concert on the 4th April'09 was at Performing Arts Center, Portland and it was indeed well attended & well received. The success of the Sathya's efforts to play the nuances of Carnatic on keyboard was knon when Sri & Smt Jayanthi Raman were so appreciative and promised to invite Sathya to Portland as and when possible. Smt Raman went on to say that, "I don't like the presentation of Carnatic of keyboard and had accepted to host this only for the sake of good accompanying team. I was ecvcen sceptical in attending the lec-dem and having attended same ensured i attend the concert also. I can really surprised that i was only hearing Veena & Mandolin from Sathya's Keyboard and not the disturbing electronic tone. Sathya has a great future and we will surely extend our support in all ways." Well it is indeed a great statement coming from a person who herself is a seasoned Bharathanatyam exponent and a student of vocal music under Sri Maharajapuram Santhanam. The team was also trilled when they got a standing ovation after the concert was over with real appreciation
