Maarga , Chennai (www.maarga.in) plans to conduct weekend workshops every month, by eminent musicians. These would typically span a session with 4-5 krithis. Every batch would be a very small group, with 15-20 ppl, to enable individual attention. There would also be a QA session following the workshop. Participants will also be given a chance to render select kritis from the workshops during our group rendition concerts.
Some of the themes to be featured in the upcoming months are:
Padams
Javalis
Rare Krithis of Thyagaraja
Rare Krithis of Muthuswami Dikshitar
Krithis of
Shyama Shastri
Veena Kuppier
Patnam Subramnya Iyer
Gopalakrishna Bharathi
Walajahpet Venkatramana Bhagavathar
Thillana
Thiruppugazh
As these will be advanced lessons, a prerequisite of prior musical training is expected from the participants.
Apart from these, Musical Appreciation courses will also be conducted. Please write to maarga(dot)in(at)gmail(dot)com, if you are interested, mentioning the course you are most interested and also which weeekend beginning from March 1st would suit you.
Dates, course fee and information about the gurus which would be finalised, according to the demand of the course, will be put up on our website.
