Concerts in Mumbai

Prashant,

The concert reflects the meticulous preparation, thoughtfulness and effort you and your team have put together. Both the accompanyists were top notch. I really enjoyed your kannaDA and Kalyani, not to mention the choice of krithis. I can tell that you are particularly inspired by several musicians and your attempt to balance classic vs novelty, young vs old, flash vs value is really wonderful. Whether it was Saveri, Kalyani or Thodi, the krithis and viruthams you have chosen and your strong pronunciation would have made Smt Vedavalli proud. As you have said, music is a lifelong journey, and my best wishes to you as you build on your interest and capabilities through effort, creativity and know-how.

Hi Prashant,
A nice concert. I liked your todi and Kanada. By the way, is this not a complete recording? Because it ended inbetween Kalyani Alaapana.

Thanks a lot for sharing.

Prashant,
I am glad i attended the concert. Excellent song selection, erudite presentation i would say with emphasis on clear pronounciation of Krithis,bhava and manodarmam.We hope to see you in chennai season platform soon- feel so proud when so many of the knowledgeable ones praise you( tho
my contribution was nothing except knowing you well!!!) All the very best. Huseni and bhairavi were too good.

jeyaar · Post by **jeyaar** » 20 Mar 2008, 22:22

oops-Instead of saveri i wrote Bhairavi-

Sri Prasanna Venkataraman will perform at The Fine Arts Society, Chembur on June 21 accompanied by Kum. Charumati Raghuraman on the violin and Sri B. Ganapathiraman on the mridangam.

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 27 May 2008, 18:59

So, Prashant, in keeping with the times, Bombay Jayashri has become Mumbai Jayashri, huh? Wonder if Smts. Saoja and Lalita refer to themselves as Mumbai Sisters? And R&G are also Mumbai Sisters of a kind too, right?

prashant · Post by **prashant** » 27 May 2008, 19:59

LOL - looks like political correctness has got the better of me, Ravi. One never knows where the [now relatively toothless!] Tiger's minions are watching

Thanks shankarabharanam!

saravanan · Post by **saravanan** » 02 Jun 2008, 11:28

Prashantji as far as I can remeber last year in Bombay for her book release along withTMK she said that she has no intention of changing from Bombay to Mumbai publicly.In all her film songs recordings too she is refered as Bombay jayashree.Wonder when did you change it for her??

prashant · Post by **prashant** » 02 Jun 2008, 12:27

As I mentioned before, it's 'Mumbai' in my mind and that's what I typed in the 30 secods it too me to compose that post. You can continue wondering as to 'when I changed it for her' - the short answer is 'I did not'.

Oh oh - did you mention you were going to be spending more time in Mumbai these days?

vijay · Post by **vijay** » 02 Jun 2008, 14:40

Yes and once I'm done getting a set of dentures, I'm going to insist that only Marathi songs/Abhangs be sung in FAS/Shanmukha etc...

One would have thought the insinuation of toothlessness applied only to the tiger...not the cubs, nephews, and the foot soldiers - and definitely not the cm loving seemingly-south-Indian mANUs!

If we extend the Bombay-Mumbai logic to other cities we may end up renaming MLV to CLV, and Sanjay's guru would be "Kolkata Krishnamurthy"!!

Lol!!!:lol:

Taking that logic further, I wonder if IITM now means IIT Madras or IIT Mumbai? Or is IIT Madras now known as IITC?

prashant · Post by **prashant** » 03 Jun 2008, 08:45

I think I have created a mini political party here with my post on Bombay / Mumbai / Chennai Smt. Jayashri's concert

vijay · Post by **vijay** » 03 Jun 2008, 11:04

IIT Madras is certainly the same thank heavens...and so are IIT Bombay, IIM Calcutta etc. The new IIM in Kerala however prefers Kozhikode to Calicut...

vijay · Post by **vijay** » 03 Jun 2008, 11:05

Chembur Prashant has indeed stirred a hornet's nest!

Yes, thank God. Otherwise there will be a problem with abbreviations too. IITM has to be changed to IITC and IITB would become IITM

Am I guessing correctly that Chembur itself is a corruption of some old maharAshTrian word?

PUNARVASU · Post by **PUNARVASU** » 03 Jun 2008, 21:01

Arasi, this is what Google says about Chembur.
The name Chembur is a derivative of Chimbori (the Marathi word for crabs). Chembur was a causeway and a popular crabbing area earlier. The "Gram Daivat" or the village god of Chembur is "Ghatoba.

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 04 Jun 2008, 01:39

Thanks, Punarvasu!

Prashant is anything but a crabby young man--punnagai (special smile) man, he is

Arasi,
punnagai man(nan)-You mean?

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 04 Jun 2008, 08:55

Well, I said it with that in mind, I suppose.

After blushing a couple times, I have passed on this nice compliment to my orthodontist

pratima.krishnan · Post by **pratima.krishnan** » 04 Jun 2008, 12:31

Hi

I would like to make a small correction. Poornima is presently under the tutelage of Sri. Mannargudi A Easwaran. She learnt from Sri.T.S.Nandakumar previously. As far as Vocal is concerned, she is the Daughter & Disciple of Smt. Meena Krishnan & not Meera.

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 04 Jun 2008, 19:09

Prashant,
Yes, the professional gets his due, but I meant the one radiating from within. I bet your sweet wife agrees with me...

shankarabharanam · Post by **shankarabharanam** » 04 Jun 2008, 20:00

Hey pratima thanks for the correction... I wasn't aware of her present guru...Also sorry for the typo error...All the best..

pratima.krishnan · Post by **pratima.krishnan** » 19 Jun 2008, 18:53

Hey that's ok....no probs. Try to make it up for the concert.

prashant · Post by **prashant** » 25 Jun 2008, 08:55

Our forum member Vidvan Sri Neyveli Santhanagopalan will perform a 4-hour concert at Chembur Fine Arts, Mumbai on August 15th. I will post more specific details as soon as available but I understand Mannargudi Sri Easwaran will be accompanying him on the mridangam.

saravanan · Post by **saravanan** » 25 Jun 2008, 17:11

Dr Nithyashree Mahadevan is singing in Shanmukhananda hall on 15th August.Details will follow.

prashant · Post by **prashant** » 27 Jun 2008, 14:37

Just a bump-up for the concert this weekend [details earlier on the thread] by Sri Vignesh Ishwar who also posts on our forum occasionally. Mumbai rasikas please try to make it to the concert by Vignesh, an upcoming and hard-working young singer. He will be accompanied by Sri Sivakumar Anantharaman on the violin / Sri Rajesh Sreenivasan on the mridangam and Sri Ganesh Ramamurthi on the khanjira.

vijay · Post by **vijay** » 27 Jun 2008, 18:56

All the best to Vignesh...unfortunately I am not in town....

rshankar · Post by **rshankar** » 27 Jun 2008, 20:29

Good Luck Vignesh!

Prashant, I see that you are back 'home'...a review of the concert perhaps?

prashant · Post by **prashant** » 27 Jun 2008, 21:03

Definitely, Ravi, if I manage to attend [most probably I will!].

vganesh · Post by **vganesh** » 01 Jul 2008, 12:25

Vijaydasami Music conerts at SIES, Nerul has some highlights like
Maharajapuram Ganesh Viswanathan, TMKrishna and Bombay Sisters to name a few. Full program list will be published. They also have mentioned Kunnakudi M.Balamuralikrishna. Can somebody enlighten about him?

prashant · Post by **prashant** » 01 Jul 2008, 12:27

Do post more details with the dates. Kunnakudi Sri M. Balamuralikrishna is the young artiste formerly known as 'Master' Balamuralikrishna.
