New Attempts in a public concert - for MahaPeriyava Jayanthi

It was indeed a divine atmosphere which probably made Sathya to attempt these two krithis which are rarely performed now-a-days. H/ever Sankaracharyam was sung by POGO Amazing Singer 2008 - Abilash on the same day as main piece and so Sathya decided to just perform the song and not elaborate it with aalapana & kalpanaswaram. Sathya took up Manavati Krithi Yevaridho and tried out kaplanaswaram for the same.

Sankaracharyam - Sankarabaranam



Yevaridho - Manavati



The highlight is that these two krithis were sung Veenai Vidhwan Sri Karaikurichi Balaji and his daghter Ms Poornima when they had visited Sathya's house. We had recorded their singing - with their permission. As Sathya liked both the krithis he decided learn it from this recording itself and performed it on this auspicious day - Anusham & Jayanthi day of Maha Periyava. The place, Temple of MahaPeriyava's Pathugai located at PS Sivaswami Salai was indeed a apt location with full of divinity all over.

Instumental Duet - Classical concert with Embar S. Kannan

It was for the first time Embar S Kannan teamed up with Sathya on Keyboard for the concept of Instrumental Duet for Muland Fine Arts, Mumbai on the 29th May, 2010. Hope you all enjoy this combination. Sri Poongulam Subramaniam on Mrudhangam and Sri Rajesh Srinivasan on Kanjira enhanced the concert.
