October 06, 2013 - a Day to be remembered for great happenings! Yes the 100th Concert of Sathya @ The Music Academy being recorded for Vijay TV! Own composition made for our KBS Inculcation getting staged at The Music Acadmey!
It was also a great coincidence that Mr. Dinesh Naidoo, Serendipity Tours, Durban, South Africa was in Chennai and also made himself available to attend this concert on way to the airport to take his flight back home!
A concert at The Music Academy under their banner is indeed a dream for every artiste and on this 100th occasion, we had the satisfaction of having performed at The Music Academy, thanks to Arun Excello and Vijay TV and it was indeed memorable!
The concert was well attended & received and was enhanced by Sri. B. Ananthakrishnan on Violin, Sri. Kumbakonam Swaminathan on the Mrudhangam and Sri. Krishna on the Ghatam. The audio was at its best and added Ambience of The MA gave the artists on stage as well a great satisfaction!
One of the moving incident happened was when Smt. Gayathiri Venkatraghavan who was there to perform the next concert, came over to the Podium after Sathya's team finished the concert and expressed her joy in being their for the 1000th concert, blessed him for greater success and handed over a gift as appreciation & token of affection. What a great blessings on a day which will be remembered not only by us but also the large audiecne who attended and the well wishers of Sathya as well!
