Chicago Thyagaraja Utsavam concert 25th May'09



Sathya with Embar Kannan and Poongulam Subramanian gave a performance that got the following comments from Mr Nathan, a seasoned organiser of concerts in Chicago for years. "I sincerely had a bad or no opinion of Carnatic music produced on a keyboard until i listened to your concert. Now i sincerely feel it is no different from any other instrument already in our music front. congrats to your efforts and i wish you all the very best for a great future." This indeed tells the way the concert went today apart from the words of two youths who had been to the concert and gave their impressions after the concert at the gate.

Sincere thanks to Sri Raghavan, Conveyor, who informed about the interest shown by CTU through Smt Bargavi Sundarajan to bring Sathya into USA before couple of years. He also was appreciative of Sathya's efforts and expressed to host him as and when possible. It was also nice to see lot of youth in the audience side and it would be nice if they are inspired with this show. You can log on to http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=F977F23018A06AD2
