Kutcheri Hopping
It was a very hectic day for me yesterday. It started with the Musicforum’s 3rd workshop on Identifying Raaga in a concert. I will write in detail about it in my next post. Then, I left it halfway to attend a concert of Mrs.Vijayalakshmy Subramaniam at Music Academy. It was nice to see so many rasikas turn up on Sunday afternoon for the concert. Initially the hall had some audio problems which was later rectified to enable the audience enjoy a wonderful concert. I had to leave the concert towards the end to go to a TM Krishna concert in YGP auditorium. It was an uncharacteristically slow-paced concert by TMK. Even during this concert, the problems with the audio system initially had a nervous YG Mahendaran on his toes. When “Manavyalakim” was in progress, I, in fact, took a short nap! I had to leave the concert after the main piece was sung to go to Sanjay Subramanyam’s concert in Vani Mahal. Sanjay was amazing as usual. The violinist, Nagai Muralidharan, played so wonderfully, especially for the varali raaga. I returned home at around 10pm after 8 hours of continuous music altogether! There has been an overdose over the weekend, so I may take a break from attending concerts for the next few days.
