T Satish Kumar

Post by rajeshnat »

I keep hearing a lot about this patron , rather young patron T Satish kumar . He is a doctor by profession and I think he is still part of PSG Medical science, coimbatore . A music label company by name Rajalakshmi Audio was started by him , i recollect reading some where that Music Academy concerts in mid 2005 + or -4 years was all recorded by Rajalakshmi Audio . Presently he is holding a september festival exclusively year on year in coimbatore . I am told thru grapevine that Kovai folks eagerly look forward for this yearly festival . I also read some where that he conducts this festival financially doling his own money and not going after sponsors (I am not too sure of this )

Having such intense love to CM and organizing concerts and spreading to cities like Coimbatore which had very minimal music is simply great. These festivals will only up the antenna to have more carnatic signal in turn having more passionate listeners.All said Kudos To T Satish kumar and his Rajalakshmi Fine Arts . Looking forward to atleast hear one concert in Coimbatore in september.

If some one from Coimbatore or if any one has more personal experience please do write about Satish Kumar.

What a joy he has invited Shri TK Murthy. He is 100 only next year, why is he mentioned as 101 years , i dont know . For Sure TK Murthy is the eldest musician ever in the last 200 years or so, far more than RK Shrikantan, Semmangudi, Mysore Vasudevacharya etal. As per wikipedia , Thanu Krishna Murthy (born 13 August 1924), better known as T. K. Murthy, is an Indian mridangam player. Above link as a photo of TKM Sir.

Well done Satish, you should consider dropping the same repeated artists and giving more chance to artists where quite a few sing far better than your usual draw.

All said keep up your inspiring work Satish , i read somewhere you studied in PSG Medical sciences , you are kovai treasure. Folks from tirupppur/Erode/pollachi and palghat/Trichur can also make it to this prestigious kovai festival.
