7th SK Balasubramanian Memorial Concerts December 27 2020

Post by kamalamba »

Dear friends

This years' SKB memorial concerts will go ahead as in the previous years, but will be online. Somehow, this feels very fitting for my father who spent the last 5-10 years of his life entirely online!!!

The date is December 27 2020.

I am trying to make sure that the timings will suit rasikas in India, Europe and the East Coast of the US. We will start around 5 PM IST.

There will be 3 concerts. One concert 1 hour in duration and two more 1.5 hours each.

The details are evolving, but I can say that one of the longer concerts will be given by Vidushi. Smt. Aishwarya Shankar

The other long concert will be given by an exciting young hindustani music talent from Pune.

Please mark your calendars.

More details and weblinks to come soon!

Regards
Kamalamba (Mohan)

Hi Mohan,
Best wishes!
So nice to see that the concerts in mAmA’s memory will continue this year amidst all this madness.
Having them online means more of us in distant shores can also enjoy them...

Thanks rshankar and nickH.
We are all looking forward to this event; particularly the year has been so difficult for everyone.
I hope you both and many more friends join online and at least next year I hope we will be back to in person concerts.
