I admire his music, and while I don't disagree with many of the criticisms made by other members, I do dislike the TMK vehement attack mode that can easily erupt here.

Having said that, the film star type advertising seems more than a bit strange. It certainly doesn't attract me to the event.

I am glad on one thing , that he has changed his mind that he will perform in season breaking his long fast.As Nick said if you open The Hindu , the repeated advertisement stating if you come with this ad cutout you will get FREE TICKETS for the first 80 . There will be say 800 who will come to get the 80 OC tickets, in that remaining 720 some will decide to buy a ticket as they have already come.

All said nice of TMK to perform in the season . Some time 2 or 3 years back he had a series of concerts from Jan ist week that is also season for me. I dont know yet if he has some concerts lined up from jan 1st. There is a parallel visaka Hari @ Academy(there is one part of CM world which thinks visakahari harikatha and usual concerts are all CM), Sanjay@ Thamizh ISai Parrys ..There is also few artists @MFAC and @Partha (these two may not dent that much as they are right now in a different waning popularity trajectory). Both VisakaHari and Sanjay and another bunch of youngsters will eat some crowd of TMK for sure . In The Hindu even today day of concert, the accompanist names are not stated. I am assuming RKSK and ArunPrakash will be likely two coartists.

Of course at near same time we have a maduraveena by Kannan@kamalamba series . On behalf of Kamalamba I am announcing you can bring the paper cutout of the whole Hindu page 4 and attend all 4 concerts @ alwarpet for free with possible free snacks.

Venkata subba rao hall is the best hall for chennai even better than academy and Ngs, but why the concert start is @ 7pm. All said best wishes for TMK concert.

He'll be performing with Dr. R Hemalatha, Delhi Sairam, Praveen Sparsh and BS Purushotham according to details posted on his website. A bit odd there are two mridangists listed.

Twin Mridangam occasionally tries to be a thing. Don't see the point, personally. It might work if the two have such different styles that they sound like different instruments.

Anyway, both are very talented: I'm sure they'll work something out.

Reason for two mridangams: He sang a couple of pieces at the end of the concert along with Chennai children's choir. They sang two thillanas simultaneously.

Apparently the Rangapura Vihara and Tiruvadi Charanam were really good. Any chance of this being uploaded on YouTube or elsewhere?
