It is good to see the continuation of this festival. The perfect way to honour the memory of Sri Raju Soundararajan and his family. Kudos to the music community in the DC area.


That said it brings back memories of the wonderful family that was so tragically taken away from all of us this summer (fellow rasikas might remember this being discussed in the forum last summer). And these memories still choke me.

I had the privilege of attending the event the last 3 years in a row and will forever associate this festival with the memories of the care, love and tireless efforts of the Raju family.

Best of luck to the organizers and artistes!
