June 05, 2012 concert at Maha Periyava's Padhugai Temple

A concert Sathya would probably remember for ever! Yes Sathya loves to perform here and this has become a concert he will never forget!

 

Sathya attempts to present newly learnt krithis here and this day happened to be a different order! Sathya started the concert with Varanamukava in Hamsadwani and as started the raga alapana for Manasa Sriramunidhaya, originaly in Mararanjani ragam. As he travelled through the raga he touched on the swara Ga 1 instead of Ga 2, Gandharam of Jangaradhwani instead of Mararanjani. Karaikal Venkatasubramanian also followed Sathya and completed the alapana in the same way during his turn. 

When Sathya started the krithi, Venkat realized this and was trying to tell Sathya but Sathya with confidence was playing the krithi with  Ga1 (Komala Gandharam or popularly known as Chinna Ga) prayogam instead of Ga 2 (Dheevra Gandharam or periya Ga)! After the song was performed Adyar D. Balasubramnai, a Nadaswara Vidwan and our faculty in KBS Inculcation, praised Sathya presenting Jangaradhwani ragam and on ly then Sathya realized the mistake committed! 

Purely with the blessings of Maha Periyava he had at the least struck to a frame work of scale and it also happened to be scale of this Melakartha Ragam.  He also attempted to perform krithis in Rishabapriya - MhimatakkincikO, Pesum Deivam Murugan in Nagavalli and Subbraya Sastri's  Sri Kamakshi in Vasantha for the first time and all these did not have any issues! This  was actually the combination we tried when we performed here first and we would sincerely call it a Miracle and thank Periyava for the great blessings as this will be in our minds for ever! 

Special mention on Kumbakonam Swaminathan's Thani Avarthanam which was excellent and we are happy to share on this day June 15, 2012 that he is now Grade A artiste of AIR! Congrats! 

"Hara hara Sankara Jaya jaya Sankara"

Sathya with Dr. Padma Subramaniam @ Chennai Airport

Today we, the parents went to Chennai Airport with SAthya to drop him for his tour to SA under ICCR for Dr. Padma Subramaniam and Party!  A great recognition for the instrument, the artist and is indeed a proud moment for all his well wishers and lets all join together to thank The Almighty for this! 

2012 TTD, Chennai concert May 13 by Sathya

Few video links of the concert performed at TTD, Chennai, which will be in our minds for a long time for the ambience and the blessings of Lord Balaji showered both on audience and the artists with a concert of satisfaction to one and all!

Sathya was enhanced by Sri. B. Ananthakrishnan on violin, Sri. Kumbakonam Swaminathan on Mrudhangam and Sri. Pradeep on Tabla.

Our sincere condolence to the family, near and dears of Dr. T. P. Naidoo, who was founder Chairman of Indian Academy, Durban South Africa who left us all in Durban at 10 am local time.

Dr. T. P. Naidoo is a strong in ethics and lived with values and humbleness. He has been instrumental in conducting St. Tyagaraja Festival for many years and has been inviting artists from India and has honoured many leading musicians namely, Sri. T. N. Seshagopalan, Smt. Sudha Raghunathan and the legendary Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna.

We as family are indebted to his encouragement and guidance and will miss him for ever! It was Indian Academy under his Chairmanship along with his daughter Smt. Vasantha Naidoo, Director Indian Academy, SA which gave Sathya the essential breakthrough in life with the biggest opportunity and recognition at his tender age of 8!

Dr. T. P. Naidoo is a great social scholar and a great orator. He is respected very much in the Indian community of South Africa and worked for their welfare! We as family cannot express our sadness on hearing this news and shall pray for his Soul to rest in Peace!

We still remember the announcement he made in the local Durban, SA during the Tyagaraja Festival day in 2003 saying, "We in South Africa are proud to have given Gandhi to India and now we are equally proud to have unearthed & recognized the talents of a Child Prodigy Musician Sathya". What a great thought and blessing for Sathya!

Hope Sathya lives up to his words and become a complete Musician and more importantly a good Human!

A concert for this forum presented after almost 4 - 5 years and it was indeed a nice feeling to see a good turn out of audience in spite of the fact that it was a concert from 5pm on a working day. This also show the growing support for the instrument keyboard to presented in Carnatic forums.

Carnatic on Keyboard at Thiruvaiyaru by Sathya

It was another blissful day for Sathya as he had the oppurtunity once again to perform at the prestigious and divine pandal of Saint Thyagaraja Aradhana Committee during the Aradhana in January 2012. He performed on 10th January with Ms Rajarajeswari on Violin, Sri Venkatasubramanian on Mrudhangam and Sri. Balaji Sairam on Morsing.

Sathya started his 15 mts slot with Pariyachakama in Vanasapathi set to Rupaka thalam and followed it up with  Dvaithamu sukama in reethigowla and Pavanabura, a Utsava Sampradhaya krithi. As soon as he was about to finish the third krithi, the organisers who were near the stage asked Sathya to perform one more krithi and Sathya presented Buntureethikolu in Hamsanadham in a brisk pace and concluded the concert. A divine blessings indeed!

Concert for BVB

details follows

Welcome December 2011

It is time to welcome one and all for the December Music Festival 2012, Chennai and it looks to be more and more interesting as years go by! Yes new forums, new artists, new media, new rasikas and especially the famous new canteens & new items coming up for enjoying!

"Carnatic on Keyboard" - the concept came into better shape probably from the 9th December, 2001 when Sathya performed his first concert and when we look back it is already 10 years! The instrument and artist have achieved many in these 10 years from getting recognised from the premier Institution of Indai namely, All India Radio and from the the music rasikas all over the world. The recent of the appreciation / recognition being "Yuva Kala Bharathi" title conferred on Sathya by Bharat Kalachar - a premier institution in Chennai.

By chance there is also an oppurtunity to welcome the 11th year for Sathya with few of his albums being launched by Giri Cassettes which details will be posted in a few days. The year 10 goes with many

It has been a great months after Sathya's return from his heArtbeat ensemble concert tour of USA & Canada where he performed 14 concerts and returned on the Diwali. The concert at trivandrum on the 28th Oct'11 being te highlight not only for the oppurtunity to have dharshan of Lord Padmanabha - recently proclaimed as the richest God of the Universe but also with a good presentation of a concert in Trivandrum.
I shall update the details of the concert next week.

God answers the question raised by Rasigapriya, Dinamalar !!

Bharat Kalachar awards Sathya with their prestigious "YUVA KALA BHARATHI"

Yes it is indeed a recognition for the efforts of a journalist - Ms Rasigapriya of Dinamalr !! We sincerely feel so that God has answered the question raised by her in the article "When will Keyboard be recognised?" with this great recognition for Sathya's efforts to perform Carnatic on Keybaord for teh last 10 years starting on teh December 09, 2001 with his first concert at his age of 6!

This is indeed a team effort and we dedicate this award to all his enhancement artists who have been performing with him, forums and individuals who have been patronizing him, well wishers who have been his pillars of strength with their wishes, blessings of all his Gurus and to the Grace of The Almighty!!

Concert in A I R - September 16, 2011

It was another joyous day for our family as we were ready to listen to SAthya;s concert in All India Radio - FM Gold 102.3 Mhz, a concert for 30 mts for teh second time from 1130 am to 12 noon on teh September 16, 2011. It so happened that both Sathya - being on the USA & CAnada heArtbeat ensemble tour - and myself were out of station and were not in a position to listen this broadcast.

Here came the Sama Sanjeevi Sri. T. V. Gopalakrishnan to whom Sathya's mother requested and he not only recorded but also uploaded in www.sangeethamshare.org under his folder and it is available in the link:

Starting 2011 - 12 with Mankula Vinayagar, Pondicherry Temple Concert

Yes as per our Hindu mythology Vinayaka Chathurthi is probably the start of the festival beginning for a year and for this year it was on teh September 01, 2011 and Sathya had the greatest blessing to perform at Sri Manakula Vinayagar Temple, Pondicherry. With another Vinayagar Temple concert behind him, Sathya had a great day with enhancement for his concert being Adyar D. Balasubramani on Nadaswaram, Kumbakonam Swaminathan on Mrudhangam and Valangaiman Hariharasubramanian on the Ghatam and Morsing.

It is interesting to note that the E.O. of this temple had seen Sathya perform the earlier year Chathurthi day for a private function where he had been and decided to have him perform in this temple! It so happened with the blessings of The Almighty it turned out to be on this wonderful day!

It was a cocnert with mix of pure classical and devotional numbers with devotees flowing like the steady water flows in Niagara Falls!! Yes indeed we actually sat for checking sound at 535pm and without break went on to perform till 930pm!! Almost 4 hrs of music and still we were seeing sea of people lining up to ahve dharshan of the Almight Ganesha!

List goes like this:

1. Ganapathiye Varuvai 2. Arupadai Veedu konda thirumuruga 3. Karpoora Nayagiye 4. Adikondar 5. Nagumomu 6. Vinayagane 7. Singara velane Deva 8. Brahmam Okate 9. Pattum Nane 11. Bantureethikolu 12.

Bagyadhalakshmi Baramma and 21. Mangalam.

Sathya performed ragas for fewkrithis and kalpanaswram was indeed flowing as well. Thani was sweet and short and the concert was indeed a unforgettable experience for all the artists! ThAnother news was that he had an exam the following day and has scored 80% as well in that!! "Yellam Iraivan Seyal"

August 25, 2011 Concert at Sri Sakthi Vinayagar Temple, Vadapalani, Chennai

August 25, 2011 - Sri Sakthi Vinayagar Temple concert 

under the aegis of Sri Sakthi Vinayagar Samajam

The above is self explanatory and it was indeed a good presentation by the team of enhancing artists in Sri. B. Ananthakrishnan on Violin, Sri. R. Sankaranarayanan on Mrudhangam and Sri Harihara subramanian on Ghatam & Morsing. The surprise package was the Soolini raga Tyagarajar krithi - Prananatha.in which Sathya explored kalpanaswarams and was equally enhanced by the enhancing artists. Sri Ananthakrishnan was at his usual best in raga aalapanas and actually helped to bring the best of Sathya's abilities with his expert performance. Sankaranarayanan and Hariharasubramanian were so good that few of teh auidence after the concert actually told Sathya to try and keep the same team as it was indeed a grand show! Well every concert performance is indeed a Velvi and this day it prooved to have been done with dedication from all teh team members.

It was also nice of the Secretary of the organisation to come up to the stage and requested Sathya to perform Entharo MAhanubhavulu and Ninuvina as listener's choice! While this is not new the special event was this was done after the main krithi! Muisc is for teh rasikas and when it is asked by a dedicated audience to perform, Sathya without any hesitation performed the krithis apart from a krithi in Neelambari as per request of an elderly rasika.

The greatest blessings for Sathya in this concert was the presence of Harmonium Exponent Sri  Palladam Venkataramana Rao, who was actually instrumental for Sathya to look out for a apt instrument during 2006 and selected Korg TR and now its all history!!!

While the title of the Article seems to be little strong the fact remains that it shows the feeling of this Journalist and we are happy to see that someone other than us, are also thinking in this direction! Kudos to "Rasigapriya  Dinamalar"  for bringing out this article

August 06, heArtbeat Ensemble for "Mythrim Bhajatha"


This was one of the important concert for Sathya as this had great vidwans like Sri S.R. Janakiraman, Smt. R. Vedavalli and many more who generally are looked like hardliners as far as the Carnatic field is concerned. It was a great blessing that many of the vidwans not only stayed back for the entire concert of about 80 mts, some of them came on stage and appreciated and few had passed on good comments of Sathya's playing techniques on the instrument to Dr. Ghatam Karthick when he had the oppurtunity to perform wioth few of them on the following days!

Report on public concert held in 23 JUL at Kumaran Kundram, Chrompet, Chennai

This is one of the pleasant environment Sathya has been to! It was the first time we as family were seeing this temple in a Mountain in Chennai!! Wow it was a real great site to see Chennai from the top of the mountain!! Great Blessings was that the Temple Deity - Utsavar and the Pallakku was supposed to be brought down that evening and we were asked to give a helping hand to do it! What else a blessing you need we as team with B. Ananthakrishnan (violin) Nadaswaram Balasubramani, Sathya and myself had a great experience doing this. It was indeed heavy and we were around 8 men involved to do this!

With great blessing of the Almighty the concert with B. Ananthakrishnan on Violin and Thillaisthnam Suriyanarayanan on Mrudhangam went excellently well and had a good number of audience too! I mention this because there was a day change in this concert and we had people inquiring the next day if Sathya was to perform as per schedule!! It was nice of teh organisers to ahve changed the date for Sathya as hehad a bhajan competition to participate with his schoolthe next day!
