Dear Rasikas

We have confirmed concerts by

2.Nishad Matange (Hindustani Vocal, from Pune)
3. Mithun Radhakrishna (Mandolin, from Gandhi Nagar and a senior student of TKV Ramanujacharyulu)

I will announce the final artiste as soon as it is confirmed.

Mohan

Mohan,
Your mother, you and your family honor your dad in the best possible way every year. You bring to other rasikAs music which he would very much approve of. GBL was an endearing person and a friend to numerous rasikAs. You continue his tradition of appreciating music and sharing it with many.
I am touched by your family's sentiment and ardor in making it happen every year. I rarely miss them. My favorite artistes, Gayathri Girish, Suryaprakash, Amrutha Venkatesh et al have been part of this 'Shraddha' day you organize lovingly.
Last year was a miss for me :( because I had to cut short my stay in Chennai. Hoping to make it this year, God willing.
Regards to your mother.

What kamalamba does in style is he also keeps a dedicated exclusive HM concert just like how academy keeps the last day before their sadas an exclusive concert with HM artists. This is in line for sure with his late fathers interest .THere is no way chennai will know about Nishad Matange (Hindustani Vocal, from Pune), unless kamalAmba features him, to that extent he is a unique sabha in december.

Thanks, Rajesh and Arasi Madam.
Hope to see you both in December.

My father loved HM and we have been lucky to find artistes oneway or another and hope the luck continues.

That would be great!

I regret to say that I am stuck at home with a cough, aches, and fever. It is possible that I might not be able to make it to your event this year. That would be very sad! Fingers crossed!

I'm very sad to have missed. Especially as I played a tiny part in it all by recommending venues. Damned microbes!

Thanks Rajeshnat and NickH for the messages. We missed you both.

The event went off really well. They will be archived on Indira Ranganathan Trust Facebook page. Feel free to watch them online.

Outstanding concerts and exceptional venue (thanks in large part due to NickH).

As with last year, the entire Sunaadalahari team was super supportive of the event and attended, supported, and helped with every aspect of planning and execution.

Regards
Mohan

Two years in a row I missed GBL's memorial concerts :( I am nowhere near Chennai this time, I'm afraid. Wish me better luck next year, Mohan. Kudos to you and your family for continuing the tradition. I have missed the venue too which you all speak highly of. Regards to your mother and to all in the family...

Arasi Madam,
We definitely missed you. In fact, some people asked me if you were in town (including the father of the exceptionally talented Ramana).
I hope you can join us next year.

Mohan
