I heard that there is a 6 day festival in chennai in July beginning on this topic with very interesting combinations...

On 2nd July, Music Academy features Vijay Siva & T.M.Krishna singing together in a concert @ 6.30pm...

What are the other programs in this series? Very keen to know..

WHAT????? Wow! I would very much appreciate if someone could provide more details on this. If this is true, then the 2nd of July will definitely find me in Chennai

I request someone to post the details... checked Music Academy and Sri Krishna Gana Sabha site...but couldn't find any info...Sounds exciting...

TMK & Vijay Siva combo is scheduled for 2nd July (at Krishna Gana Sabha, not at Music Academy)

prashant · Post by **prashant** » 12 Jun 2008, 14:21

See you all in Chennai on 2nd July. Can't wait for this - RKSK on violin that too - just awesome!

Wow! I would've joined Prashant except that I land up in Mumbai only a day or 2 before.... Do hope it wil find its way into record stores...really rare indeed to find 2 top notch artistes coming together - almost like Federer and Nadal deciding to team up for doubles!
On a more practical note, aren't their sruthis quite different? Of course I am taking "combo" to mean that it will be a "jugalbandhi" rather than one singing after the other...
Junta, photos please!

Who's on Mrudangam/Ghatam/Kanjira..Manoj Siva/BSP is my guess

Thanks Ram...quite a "casting coup" by KGS

s_hari · Post by **s_hari** » 12 Jun 2008, 19:36

What are other 5 interesting combinations?

I was wondering why MA is hosting Yagnaraman memorial series??

Mostly, i will also be in chennai, if my boss & god willing...(;-

Sounds like 'one shouldn't miss it if in town' kind of a concert!
Hope there will be more such ones in the future too...

s_hari · Post by **s_hari** » 13 Jun 2008, 06:55

If this is a success, we as a rasika, should request / influence Vijay & Krishna to perform together more often...

Any imaginations, what can go on right, what can go wrong? They are from two different schools - DKP & SSI...

Vijay has normall high pitch compared to Krishna... What shruti they will choose? Will their voice blend, or will it be like jugalbandi??

hari,
Let's wait until the sweet is served! Why 'imagine' anything when they are working on it? I would rather wait for the dessert to arrive at the table than guess what all ingredients have gone into the preparation of it by reading it on the menu board!

s_hari · Post by **s_hari** » 13 Jun 2008, 08:12

Arasi madam !! What an analogy....i can't resist asking chefs what the ingredients are!! But, will loose surprise...Let me wait until 2nd July...

Hate to post this but looks like the TMK & Vijay Siva combo concert has been canceled

News comes courtesy s_hari. I also checked with KGS and the people there have no idea about the concert. The guy manning the office there said there is a concert series in early July whose details he is unaware of.

cienu · Post by **cienu** » 20 Jun 2008, 20:38

That is indeed disappointing news. I hope they do sing together on some other occasion.

prashant · Post by **prashant** » 23 Jun 2008, 10:33

Ugh. What a bad news. I was so looking forward to hearing this...

rbharath · Post by **rbharath** » 23 Jun 2008, 11:14

i enquired at KGS office on saturday evening about this series. They said that they are yet to finish the scheduling. The man said "ippo thaan pottundu irukkom. paperla varum"

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 23 Jun 2008, 20:48

'pEparle varaNum, tEdi, nEram ellAm sariYA print AgaNum...(it has to appear in the paper, with the date and time printed correctly, hopefully).
Do they put a board out by the front office as soon as they make decisions so that even if the office is closed, you can find the information you need?
I am not saying anything about this particular sabha, but when they think up such interesting programs, don't they want the news to reach all those who would be interested? I say this because, in my experience during the season, I find that there are some organizers who are keen on making the rasikA happy by giving information, being polite and issuing a ticket without any fuss. And, there are others...

vijay · Post by **vijay** » 23 Jun 2008, 23:30

What a disappointment...I was almost hoping to be able to make it....folks please do keep providing updates

shankarabharanam · Post by **shankarabharanam** » 27 Jun 2008, 10:15

I guess this would provide some more information, http://www.kutcheribuzz.com/news/200806 ... araman.asp

Sad that Vijay Siva / T.M.Krishna concert didn't come through. Just wondering how it became public, if it was not announced? Hope we get to hear this combo in near future...July 12th, both of them are signing in Bangalore... Wait, hold your breath, in two different concerts(;-(;-

I heard that Vijay Siva & NSG sang together few years back.. NSG sang thyagaraja compositions and vijay dikshitars... Anyone attended the concert, or has recordings?

arasi · Post by **arasi** » 06 Jul 2008, 01:00

Did they take turns and sing, if NSG sang tyAgarAjA krutis and Vijay Siva MD's? What about rAgam and svaram singing? Does anyone know? I can't figure it out.

IIRC, there was a programme in which they sang the various kritis of Shri MSD, kshetrawise, geographically tracing it to various kshetras.
