Wow, good eyes Rajesh. I saw the schedule also but I was so focused on just looking at the accompanist combinations that I missed this.

Interesting question.

I wonder too. I do not recall any vocal artiste in recent memory who had two concerts in the same sabha during the season. It is quite common for violinists who often play roles as accompanists and soloists and also artistes who play two instruments.

I can see many sabhas are now planning to have a NY's day tradition with the same artiste (like Lalgudi at MFAC for several years). Maybe Sanjay is the banner artiste for BGS, an organization known to have a strong affinity for him.

This year also Sanjay sang in BGS on the first of January. That was a special morning concert accompanied by SV, MAE and KVG. He sang for 4 hours.

Another artiste who has posted her schedule in her blog is Gayathri Girish.

There is a link for it in the Vidvans and Vidushis forum.

Rajesh and Mahavishnu,
I remembered reading about the concert and found the review on page 11 of Concert Reviews: Sanjay at BGS--New Year Concert.

Arasi: I believe it is on as usual.
Sanjay, for instance, has listed on his blog that he is performing on Dec 12th.

There are 12 schedules there for download, but now there is a lull, and no new ones added for a while.

Kutcheries.com is also filling up fast. Ram and his friends must be wearing their fingers down. They have posted several other schedules too. I think Naada Inbam is there now. It would be nice if they posted a news item to let us know which sabhas they have updated. It has got to the point where it is quite daunting to page through for new stuff to add to one's own calender.

December: Delightful but Daunting! :D

There will be only one "MARGAZHI MAHA UTSAVAM" from dec 1 to dec 15 as usual. Venue may change. thats it. There may be other "pre margazhi utsavams" which in no way can become MMU.

Kutcheribuzz seems to be dead now.

It is very hard to keep up with events... Impossible to go through a whole month of Kutcheris.com just looking for the newly added ones!

This year there will be 2 concert schedules...
The event MARGAZHI MAHA UTSAVAM with its signature thematic concerts has always been produced by Maximum Media (Subhasree Thanikachalam & Manimaran) and is in its 15th year now. Chettinad Vidyashram RA Puram used to be the venue and Jaya TV the broadcaster until last year. This year the festival will be held at YOUTH HOSTEL, Indira Nagar, Adyar. Details are on the other thread devoted to this event.

PS - The kutcheris.com schedule that mentions "Jaya TV" is a new event conducted directly by the channel with a largely different set of artistes at Chettinad Vidyashram. Hope this clarifies...

I have seen from the schedule that Kalarasana is conducting concerts only on Sundays - at Rani Seethai Hall. Quite surprised. Till last year they used to have lengthy schedules. Why this downsize.

The schedule of concerts on www.chennaidecemberseason.com is listed in alphabetical order. But four more 'biggies' are yet to be updated here. Chennai Cultural Academy, Sri Thyagabrahma Gana Sabha, SAFE and Sri Parthasarathy Swami Sabha. Hope they are up soon.

The Kutcheribuzz page has at least three of those. I think you might find that SAFE is already been entered on Ram's Kutcheris.com.

... Yes it is! See this link.
