As it stands Public concerts for any Instrumental artist is indeed rare and to get a concert oppurtunity to perform on the Guru Poornima day at Amma Mata Amritanandamayi Math is indeed a great blessing.
Sathya had this blessing on the July 25th, 2010 when he performed with Sri. B. Ananthakrishnan on the violin and Sri K. Swaminathan on mrudhangam. Thanks to Sri Vinayamrutha Chaithanya Swamiji of this Math in Virugambakkam this concert was well received with large audience and a quality PA system provided by the Math.
The team started off with a varnam composed by the great legendary Dr. M. Balamuralikritshna in Gambeeranaatai Ragam set to adi thalam and followed it with a Ganapathi Thuthi in raagam Reethigowla. As per request of many in the audience Sathya decided to perform song as per the request with Pavana Guru in Hamsanandhi, Raghuvamsasudha and Krishnanee i Yamuna Kalyani. Both Sathya and Ananthakrishnan presented a good aalapana for Hamsanandhi which was well appreciated. Inspired by one of his guru Sri MAndolin Shrinivas's presentation of Bindhumalini, Sathya tried his best to perform Endha Mudho. Swaminathan playede a short & sweat Thani after the krithi.
Sathya followed this with a Utchavasambradhya krithi Srirama in ragam Sahana & Sri Lalgudi's thillana in raagam Desh. As requested by a rasika Sathya presented a medley and the entire audience were seen clapping which sound became actually the main percussion at many places.
