2011 March 13 - Concert at Periyava Padhugai Temple - Mylapore

Sathya performed a concert and for the first time he tried performing on a Harmonium!

It was indeed a divine atmosphere Sathya performed for the second time in Maha Periyava's Padhugai Temple located in PS Sivaswamy Salai. This time enhanced by Sri SP Ananthapadmanabha on violin, Sri Delhi Raja Subramaniam on Mrudhangam and Sri Hariharasubramanian on Ghatam & Morsing. Sri. Murugan made the audio arrangements.

Sathya thought of trying Harmonium and as we were searching for one his friend Sri Harikrishnan's family was contacted through Sri Keerthivasan - a Mrudhaga vidwan and thanks to that family, Sathya could perform on Harmonium. Just an attempt and hope he also pursues this also! I feel the performance is asking me to think on this line!

January 22, 2011 Concert at Kakinada

This was indeed one of the special concerts with local state artists in AP after a long time with M. Sathyanarayanansarma on Violin, Mandapakkam Ravi on Mrudangama and Hanumantha Rao on Ghatam

The concert went very well with large audience presence and appreciation coming to the team in a big way. Here is a clipping probably for the first time taken in the side view as the camera was positioned on the stage! Sathya presented a mix of different composers and the ragas & krithis selected along with the way presented by him was very much appreciated by the enhancement artists. The greatness of the Mrudhangam vidwan was that he also informed many of is friends, dear & near to see the link in youtube! 

The interesting thing in this concert was that as we reached Kakinada  and was met by a volunteer of teh sabha, he asked Sathya to perform Sriranjani as main and also wanted a krithi in Sivaranjani. To our surprise we could not recollect any krtihi Sathya was familiar with and an idea came to me! I asked Sathya if he could play the bhajan Krishna Bajo Krishna Bajo set to a different raga in Sivaranjani and he immediately accepted it as a good idea and executed it on stage with no real hesitation! The person who asked for it was thrilled on hearing this bhajan and praised him so much! The secret of winning the heart of rasikas is very important and  will help artists like Sathya a long way!!

The list of krithis rendered are as follows:

01. Varnam - Valaji - Adi- Lalgudi Jayaraman
02. Raghunayaka - Hamsadwani - Adi- Tyagaraja (S)

January 09, 2011 - Concert for IIT Music Club under Youth Festival

As part of the 2011 Youth Music festival Sathya performed in IIT for their Music Club for the first time and incidentally this has come on All India Radio giving the recognition for the instrument! May be it is a coincidence! The team comprised of M. Rajeev on Violin, Sumesh Narayanan on Mrudhangam and Sunilkumar on Kanjeera. The PA system was of great order and all this ensured that the concert reached the knowledgeable audience in the right manner.

Sathya started the concert with Dr. Balamuralikrishna's varnam in the ragam Shanmugapriya and as this was his first concert in IIT Youth Fest decided to do a small lec-dem on the usage of the gadget's in the instrument in producing the nuances of Carnatic  music! The idea was Rajeev to take up a raga and Sathya to present same on the keyboard and  leaving the judgment to the audience regarding the level Sathya could match! Here Prof. Narendran was present and he suggested to take up all gana ragas namely Bhairavi, Kalyani, Kamboji, Thodi, and Sankarabaranam. The fact is that after the concert Prof. Narendran has got good impression on Sathya and he is already a good well wisher now to him! A great personal milestone for Sathya to have won the heart of a good Vainika and a knowledgeable person! The details of other krithis are as follows and when time permit please do give a view and forward your thoughts!
