Tyagaraja Aradhana 2007 at Nanganallur

Geetha Nivedhana Trust, Nanganallur, Chennai - 600061, held its annual Tyagaraja Aradhana festival on 17 and 18 March 2007, at its premises at New no. 20, Old no. 10, 35th Street, Nanganallur. This trust has been doing yoeman service in the field of Carnatic Music for the last 10 years. The focus has been on development in the field of Carnatic vocal and instrumental music, and the trust, led by Smt. Rajam Srinivasan, along with a group of focussed and dedicated ladies, has produced some outstanding successes in this venture.

The function got off to a quiet start, understandably subdued, due to the absence i its ranks of the chief patrons who were the source of inspiration for this venture. After duly acknowledging the contributions of these great people (Smt. Lakshmi and Prof. S. Krishnan), the function kicked off with the singing of the traditional "Pancharatna Kritis", preceded by a violin solo piece which was of the purest class. This young violinist has a great future ahead of him.

We look forward to more news from this group, which has quietly been doing good work in the basics of Carnatic Music, albeit without advertisement. Maybe, this posting would help generate more interest among Carnatic music lovers to find out more about this group. For further details , please contact :- Smt. Rajam Srinivasan, New no. 20, Old no. 10, 35th Street, Nanganallur, Chennai - 600061. Telephone :- 044-22328176.
