Thanks to all of you for your heartfelt wishes. The news of this award is a pleasant surprise, and all the credit goes to the efforts of my Gurus Tiruvarur Sri N. S. Chandrasekharan and Sangita Kalanidhi Smt. R. Vedavalli, and the encouragement of my family and friends [including the very supportive community here that I am very happy to be a part of].

Arasi: sorry for the delay in replying. The concert this Sunday is part of the Navarathri series at Rathnagireeshwarar Koil, Besant Nagar. The concert is from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM. Bombay Shri Anand and our beloved forumite Erode Shri Nagaraj have kindly consented to accompany me on violin and mrudangam respectively. I hope to see some of you there.

Perashant,
Hope quite a few do attend, this being a doubly 'forum fellow' concert.

Hi prashant, hearty congratulations (wishes are belated). indeed very nice to hear the news. logged into the forum after a small gap!

as observed by one of our rasikas, it is very heartening to see the younger generation (at 32, i'm counting myself in this generation!!!) showing immense interest in classical music. some of us as avid listeners, others as patrons and some as performers. everybody ultimately contributing towards spreading of this fine art!

Fine Arts Society Chembur - 27th December, Sunday 6 p.m to 8.pm.

Veena Recital by Kum. Gayatri Govindrajan.I have heard her play at Baratiya last month for Deekshidhar day...A fine vainika wtith Excllent control over the Veena. was a treat to hear her as there are hardly any vainika's i have seen or heard in mumbai.
She is currently learning from Smt. Shymala Sajnani - who happens to be the sister of E. Gayathri. so can expect something good from the concert.
The FAS circular states Aditya Sangeet - a chamber concert.

I can assure rasikas of some really good music from Gayatri...Gayatri was earlier disciple of Smt Mangalam Muthuswamy. After her demise she has been learning from Mrs Shyamala...I agree with blissfulmusic that she has got control over the veena... :)

Would be useful if someone with contacts in Sabhas could compile an update similar to Ram's. Should be easier given the number of concerts here...

Incidentally, I might have mentioned "Mumbai Rasika" a monthly update on concerts in the city including some Carnatic Concerts. The link is below:

http://www.sudeepaudio.com/contentPages ... e=concerts

No mention of the above concerts, though. BTW, Zakir and KRM perform at NCPA today....

The GNB centenary celebrations at Shanmukananda hall went on very well. On 8th Ms. Kanyakumari and Mr. Embaar Kannan played the violin duet while Mr. K.V.Prasad played Mrudangam and Mr. Rajesh Srinivasan played Ganjira.

Great to see Shri GNB's siblings !

We had around 3 hours of scintillating violin play and the duo played some ragas like Abogi, Hamsadwani, Suddha saveri, Behag, Yadhukula kambodhi, Thodi , Reedhi Gowlai.

The highlight was the extensive play on Thodi with a detailed alapana followed by thani avarthanam by the support artists. The show ended on a flourish.

The speed of the Violin was simply amazing , like a Mumbai fast local !

I have tried to capture as much possible and the link is below

Missed the above due to some personal commitments but thanks for your efforts Balaji. Do hope you can eventually update it to mirror Ram's wonderful work in Chennai!

BTW that is a remarkable portrait of St. Thyagaraja, quite unlike any I have seen before! Where did you get it from?

Dear Vijay,

Thanks. All the recordings have been fully uploaded to my blog now. I attended Dombivli and BARC programmes. With limited capacity, I could save only 8 kritis besides 2 audio files.
That portrait of Satguru was taken through google search on one of the sites. Somehow, I was captivated with the way Shri. Hanumanji was listening with all the humbleness and devotion and instantly decided to use it !

Will do my best to upload all happenings on carnatic music in Mumbai.

Balaji - that picture of the saint is lovely - I like it all the more because it seems to accurately capture my mental image of him - as a rather emaciated, but radiant personality.

A Jugalbandi organised by Indo -American Society was performed at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Chowpatty on 19th feb 2010 . The artists who performed were :


Snehal Mazoomdar - Santoor
Narayan Mani - Veena
Suresh Padmanabhan - Violin
Raghavendra Rao - Flute
Shyam sundar - Mridangam
Anirban - Tabla


Snehal started by playing the Raga Vasant in Hindustani followed by Narayan Mani on the Veena and as the concert picked up pace, Shri Thyagaraja's kriti Shiva Shiva was played in Raga Bandhuva

The hall was full house even 30 minutes before the programme started and the concert lasted for around 1 hour. Snehal- Narayan Mani combination was quite interesting with each one complementing by sound application of Hindustani and Carnatic ragas.
