This year, it will go to a 'senior' female vocalist. Given the slot assignments, the three most likely candidates are Smt. Aruna Sayeeram, Smt. Jayashree Ramnath, and Smts. Ranjani & Gayatri Balasubramaniam, in order of seniority. Incidentally, all three are from Tam-Brahm families born in Bombay ten years apart - Aruna in 1952, Jayashree in 1962, and RaGa in 1974 & 1977 respectively!

Saketaraman, Prasanna venkatraman,gayathri Girish,sashank (flute) are giving way to new evening promotions pattabhi pandit, trichur brothers, sangeetha swaminathan and as murali. Is that tentative or is that officially non official. you are either a great guesser or have become a really powerful sabha insider

High time you get familiar with alternate-facts ;) Why are you letting facts intrude on a narrative. Narrative is the only thing :evil:

RaGa maybe gr8 crowdpullers but they really need to demonstrate quality carnatic music for a number of years before they can even be considered for this title. There are so many Sr Vidwans with much much mote accomplishments than RaGa sisters.

Crowd Pulling and Quality Music may or may not go together.Vidwans like Vijaya Siva,OS Thyagarajan provide Quality Music but are not crowd pullers.
These Vidwans are not chased by large Music sabhas.
Even very large halls Vani Mahal or KGS gets sparsely filled for them.
I had a very strange experience.In the last season Parthasarathy Sabha featured T V S with S Varadarajan at Vani Mahal if i am not wrong.When I asked for ticket in the counter he spent a good 10 minutes before he handed over tickets.To our utter surprise there were only 50-60 rasikas in the hall.

It is unfortunate if DKP and DKJ sishya parampara is absent from the schedule like last year.

Vocalist,

Amritha Murali and Ramakrishnan Murthy are disciples of RK Shriramkumar, a disciple of both DKP and DKJ. Moreover, they will feature at least one singer in the morning slot, not to mention Lec Dems in the Academic Sessions. Hence, the fears of neglect are unfounded.

vocalist is thinking of VijaySiva and Nityashree . Some thing went wrong from the year sanjay got SK with Vijay not getting featured in MA . My assumption is nityashree had to make way for some talent like vidya kalyanaraman and amrutha venkatesh . But as such Morning slots are as respected as evening slots and has the same 2 and half hours so there is still chance to get featured there.

SureshVV or any one else
do you have insights on morning slots.

Rajeshnat,

AFAIK, only the Evening slots are confirmed. Non-ticekted slots are still being decided, so musicians are yet to hear back from the Academy about whether they will be featured in Morning/Afternoon slots. Having said that, Vijay Siva and Nithyasree aren't the only musicians who learnt from DKP/DKJ- there are still musicians like C Sukanya (DKJ's daughter), Geetha Rajasekhar (disciple of DKP), Susheela Raman (disciple of DKP), Lalitha Sivakumar (daughter-in-law of DKP), and her brother DK Nagarajan- all are super-senior and thus are more likely to be featured in Morning slots.

Sorry to be greedy, but do you have any insights on the Afternoon and Late-Morning slots, and/or accompanist details for any of the above slots?

Suresh, did you get handed all this stuff by a shady character in a multi-storey car park? Was there any advice about following the money?

At this very moment, committee members, junior admin staff, and even cleaners are shaking with fear as they await their turn for inquisition. Let's hope none of them get the comfy chair. But, one way or another, carnage must be on the cards, until the source of this leak is found.

@Harimau,

"It won't be a major calamity if he doesn't" - You could say that about all the musicians.
"Except in the eyes of the sheeple."
'sheeple' being those who don't share your taste in music?

@sureshvv
"It might be a serious setback for closet fans who push old ladies out of the way to get a better seat and then provide the excuse of sociology research"
Closet fans? LOL!!

Aruna Sayeeram seems the only Senior in terms of age! Most are upcoming youngsters......
Yes, both VS are missing.......no Vijay Shiva or Vijayalakshmi Subramaniam either last few years. Maybe they have to be about 70 years old and move to the morning :)
Surprised to see Suryaprakash name in morning slot

The allocation of artistes to the morning slots are a bit difficult to understand. Apart from the senior Sangeetha Kalanidhi-s there are musicians like Baby Sreeram, Neyveli Santhanagopalan, Balasai (flute), Suryaprakash and OST.

I could see all the schedules.Looks like they retired T V Shankara Narayanan.Vijaya Siva is also not given any chance.OST is still retained- Rasikas good luck.
Mysore Nagaraj and manjunath get chance in the evening after a long break.

I saw the Music Academy schedule for the Music Season, December 15, 2018 - Jan 1, 2019, at the official Music Academy website, and was disappointed and sad that Sri Prasanna Venkatraman, one of my very few favorite vocalists, was not included. This is unfortunate because he is not only an excellent vocalist, but he is also one of the few vocalists who consistently sing with bhaava, and is capable of touching rasikas' heart. His singing calms the listeners' mind to such an extent that it enables them to experience Ananda, the special, divine, spiritual joy enshrined in the heart of all of us. I have experienced ananda at several of his concerts. Experiencing ananda has become very rare for me lately because the trend among vocalists these days, with very few exceptions, is to sing very fast, to excite the rasikas' mind, and entertain them, and get huge applause in return. I am not saying that musicians should not entertain or excite the rasikas; what I am saying is that, when Carnatic music is capable of giving ananda by calming the mind, why settle for anything less, for mere entertainment? If the Music Academy wished to include Prasanna this year, it could have very easily done so by moving a very senior musician like Sangeetha Kalanidhi Smt Kanyakumari or Smt Sudha Raghunathan to the Super Senior morning slot (9.00 to 11.30). This is just a thought that occured to me. I will be returning to India for this music season also, as I have done the past several years, in November, for six months, and hope to see many of you there.

You feel that way about his music. I find it not so great yet and also a lot nasal sound is very disturbing. Recently I tried to listen to one of his radio concerts and could not get past the first 2 minutes.
