Ahh... great!

Time to start December planning! I just hope that the weather does not have other ideas this year.

Did somebody again announce that he/she/it is not going to sing during the season? I don't see the name featured in any of the Sabhas' schedules released so far.

If you have links to published schedules, please, please post them! Perhaps in a separate thread.

As Ram's wonderful Kutcheries app is no more, and with no usable replacement, it's going to be down to painful manual scheduling again.

(or just looking at the newspaper every morning ...like the old days! :D )

Vocalist is perhaps asking about another vocalist. If so, his announcement was for all future until further orders.

Savitha getting a slot ahead of Sanjay reminds me of Harimau's comment that she would get a good audience which she deserved better than Sanjay (not my comment).
Is it a coincidence that none of TMK's sishyas seem to be featured?
It is nice to see Nithyasree get an evening slot. Hope she has regained her voice.

Probably because this is Thyagaraja's 249th birth year. Buth 2 or 3 lecdems sem interesting. Especially the ones on the various pATams of Thyagaraja kritis and the differences in the earlier notated publications of his kritis.

Music Academy Redesigns its Website: Calendar on Front Page!

Fail.


What we see for each date is, for instance, "HCL Concert Series," or "Annual Conference and Concerts - Day 2"

Of, for God's sake, Music Academy. How much did you pay for that disaster? Your boss is a media man, for goodness sake: do you not have a clue about presenting the information people want to see? (hint: artist, not event/sponsor name).

Aaaarrrrggghhhh! :cry: :roll: :evil:

Nick - the Sponsor's must have paid for the redesign - hence it is their name up "front and center" as it were...

Few Comparisons in 2016-17 vs 2015-16 evening 1 and 2 slots:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last year was a big overhaul especially with many vidwans booted out. I can call that "vidwans overhaul"(Unni, vijaysiva ,suryaprakash, TNS krishna, TN Seshagopalan were all out) . But this year, I was expecting a "vidushis -overhaul" like on last year grounds , but that did not happen . There is a bit of delta change- more on the usual lines

People who are going out this year to make way for others :
-----------------------------------------------------------
1. Saketharaman - He moves in and out every alternate years . I will call this slot as UKS-Blue Eyed Boy slot . This year he is out

2. Vijayalakshmi subramanyam - She also moves out this year . Every 2 or 3 years she comes in and out .This year she is out

3.Hyderabad brothers- Last year was a surprise entry. This year the brothers are out

4. Subhashini Parthasarathy - This year she is out.Last year she was in . I am not sure if she was in before that in the evening slot.

5. Visakha Hari - I recollect one sabha secy once telling me that visakha and saketharaman will generally get paired . This year no harikatha and so no visakha hari

6.Sreevalsan Menon - Sreevalsan Menon was initially not slotted last year . He replaced when Sudha was indisposed . This year he is out . Unfortunately Dr Menon only sings in Academy in season i hope there is some one welcoming him into the dec season concert, otherwise Like VR dileep we may not hear Dr Menon (two brilliant artists of kerala).

7. Kadri gopalnath - He is out this year. Last year they clubbed A kanyakumari and Kadri for the same concert . This year AK being SK she has to have an exclusive concert

Musicians who are entering this year :
-------------------------------------
1. Prasanna Venkatraman - After few years of absence in afternoon, looks this year prasanna is promoted to evening slot for the first time. Congratulations

2 .Unnikrishnan - Unnikrishnan is back this year after last year temporary bootout . Others like Vijay Siva (i thought he will be in as he has adequate connnections), TNS Krishna and Suryaprakash are not as lucky as unnikrishnan.

3. Sriram Parthasarathy- This year the Blue Eyed Boy slot of UKS mama has moved from saketharaman to sriram parthasarathy. he was in 2014 and out in 2015 now again he is in during 2016.

4. Amrutha Venkatesh - Amrutha(disciple of Prince Rama verma) is promoted to the evening slot for the first time. I was personally thinking sangeetha swaminathan will move to evening bit earlier to Amrutha. both are great vidushis .Congratulations Amrutha.

5. Sudha ragunathan - She is in this year after her last year of temporary last hour cancellation.

6. Neyveli Venkatesh a fantastic artist is not playing this year .Many years back he played once for Neyveli santhanagopalan and got NSG the yogam nagaswamy concert . He usually only plays for only Sanjay . WIth academy opting for a rotation to Palladam ravi for sanjay concert ,Does it mean Venkatesh will play only for sanjay or not play at all in academy.

In Afternoon slots-Either entering for the first time or coming again for a gap:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Swarna Rethas - I am assuming he is promoted for the first time in afternoon slot

2. Padma sugavanam - Promoted from noon to afternoon

3. Usha padmanabhan - she is in afternoon slot

4. Vignesh Ishwar - Promoted from noon to afternoon

5. Ahswin Anand - I am assuming he is promoted for the first time

6. Jayanth (Flute) - I am assuming he is promoted for the first time in afternoon slot

7. Trichy L saravanan (flute)- I dont know him at all . Another flute promotion

8. Pattabhi Pandit is in after few years

9. Akkarai sisters are out

10. Baby Sreeram is out

11. There used to be a lot of NRI afternoon slots . Musicians like Salem Shriram,DB Ashwin (has happened for few years) and last year promoted Shankar Ramani and VK Raman (flute) have no slots . Has it got to do with Donald Trump- Hillary elections (ha ha ).


In Morning Slots
----------------
The Sangeetha kalanidhi and respected high calliber artist who dont have much commercial might move here to morning slot. Most of the slot and artists are the same

1. Tara Mohan (Veena )is in . This artist is new to me

2. Prema Rangarajan who was out for few years is again in

3. Raji Gopalakrishnan is in after few years gap

4. Saraswati Rajagopalan (Veena) is out and Tara Mohan (Veena ) is in- No idea about both

5. MS Sheela - She is out

6. Lalgudi Srimathi and Anuradha Sridhar - They are out

7. Jayalakshmi Sekar (Veena) - She is out.

General Observations
--------------------
# Surprised especially the omission of VijaySiva, Suryaprakash , Dr Menon and TNS Krishna. Particularly I thought vijay will make it among the other three as to me Vijay has more connections considering the writeups of The Hindu, sruthi magazine etc.

# IN 1980's semmangudi was controlling slots in Academy is what I heard and is a generally accepted fact. Logically just looking at slots - Prasanna Venkatraman , Swarna Rethas , Jayanth(Flute) , Sandeep Narayan are all disciples of Sanjay.To an extent Amrutha Venkatesh (Prince rama verma is very close to Sanjay). Also Neyveli Venkatesh is not playing any concert at all as Sanjay is paired with Palladam ravi - he is to me a top 4 artist in mrudangam .It appears Sanjay- Sriram Camp is making big decisions in academy slots is my logical call.

# As usual Vedavalli disciples are finding entry like Usha Padmanabhan, Ashwin Anand apart from musicians like Sumitra retaining.

# As usual PSN mama disciples generally find way.

# Most of them(not all) who made it truly deserve . I will keep the All - Most only with myself .All those who are not say part of above mentioned groupies, best wishes for next year (I am especially talking with afternoon , morning and noon slots)

Bottomline
--------------
Like many years before i wrote a detailed report , Academy has to increase the concert from 2 weeks to either 2 and 1/2 or may be 3 weeks to accomodate more artists.

Best wishes for the sea of artists with the sabha hopping sun of rasikas in having a great Chennai season 2016.

My Academy-should is... use the smaller hall after the lecdems. Much as I hate it (too loud, too bright, too cold, too headache), it could be used for parallel brilliant-youngsters, brilliant-overseas.... etc etc

I think the Academy did quite well generally with this year's line up. There were shock omissions to me though:
1. No Harikatha w/ Visakha Hari - though I recognise there is something different on the last day maybe in lieu of this
2. No male artist from DKJ sishya parampara
3. No Kadri Gopalnath

It appears Sanjay- Sriram Camp is making big decisions in academy slots is my logical call.
I think this is too much even if an additional half/full week was added, but I do hope it is just a one-off excess in recognition of last year's SK award.

It is just speculation that Sanjay has a say in the draw. If he had, perhaps, he would have Venkatesh for his show.
SSI was a colossal figure in his time and had a nexus with Vasu. Sriram is nowhwere near Vasu and Sanjay is nowhere near SSI in clout in the CM world.
At best, Sanjay could have had his way for his students. Of the four, Sandeep and Jayanth could find a place in their own right. They have established themselves.

For the avoidance of doubt, I was referring in my post to the (over)representation of any one school/style in a single sabha's lineup during the season.

In that situation (god forbid :evil: ), my foremost complaint would be that she was left out...everything else would follow that. :lol:

IIRC, it was music season exactly a decade ago when you attended her concert for the first time - and it was at this venue too? :D 8-)
