Hi, is it possible for us to have an index for season scehdules 2009. I mean for us rasikas December is like the World cup, although it is once in a year. Also wanted to know if Music academy would have already fixed the schedules for 2009-10. Is it possible to get the schedule?? Thanks.

Its too early - try looking on the Academy's website from September.

All the schedules will be out by1 December.

For us Chennai rasikas, the December 1st Hindu is the most awaited newspaper. It will contain details of all sabhas!

Most of the schedule for Academy is already fixed by which I mean the slots for main artistes are already fixed. May be the accompanists may not have been fixed which I doubt. For example,
I know my guru is playing on Dec. 18th morning at the Academy and I know that Sattur sisters
have a evening slot but I dont remember the date etc.

most front-line sabhas must have a tentative schedule fixed and even second-rung sabhas should be getting geared up and ready with their schedules..

i m told the academy is almost done with their schedules. And am also told that there are quite a few surprises and many promotions too. i do know some names, but let me not spell them out till things are officially announced.

Shashank's December schedule is on his web site as well.

This (and TMK's schedule) tells me that the sabha schedules are in fact complete (or nearly so) - why don't the sabhas release this information now rather than at the last minute?

@ ajit,

If I remember correctly, Dorai sir will be accompanying him on that date, though it may have changed.

You're probably not being serious, but in case you are: Is it a problem if tickets get sold early? One would think it's a good thing - it helps the organizers get a good estimate of the demand, and it helps the rasikas plan their schedule.

Is it possible to attend a few programs at Chennai during the December season?
Whether it is possible to purchase daily ticket at the counter?

I am sure it is possible to attend a few programs. Where there's a will there's a way.

Yes, If not a sold out concert, you can definitely get tickets at the counter on the day of the concert.

Hope this helps.

As far as I know, tickets are available at the counter everyday at most of the sabhas. Only a few high priced reserved tickets and all season tickets are sold ahead of time. Tickets may be sold out fast at the counter for very popular ( not necessarily the best !) artsits' programs; hence early arrival should help in such cases. This was my experience the last time I was in Indfia a few years ago.

hnbhagavan, there are many day-time performances, and more than a few evening ones, where you will find that your attendance has added a substantial percentage to the audience numbers. There are a few big names that fill every seat, and there are a few venues that tend to be full to overflowing. Out of the free ones, there are a few that you need to attend the afternoon concert to keep your seat for the evening!

Do not worry; even if you see some artists you haven't heard of before, you will certainly be able to immerse yourself in live music any time during the Season

I think Nedunuri Sir is performing with Trichy Sankaran Sir @ Music Academy on Dec 22nd. Don't know the time yet.

Mr. H N Bhagavan,

I am also from Bangalore. From past 3 years I visit Chennai during December to attend some of the programmes. Daily tickets are being sold at music Academy which I normally prefer on the day of the concert. For some top artistes people queue up as early as morning 4, to get tickets. Last year I managed to get Dias ticket to hear Smt Aruna Sairam and Mr. T M Krishna. Off course though getting tickets is difficult , the atmosphere and enjoyment is great. Try this year. Some of the Sabhas I was told that they issue daily tickets in advance.
