Today I saw in the hindu metro plus an ad where in a concert series is planned to commemorate yesteryear greats where in a bunch of young musicians are going to perform. I saw small photographs of abhisek,gurucharan,prasanna venkataraman and it was also put today at 6 pm the concert will be perfomed by K.gayathri and Keyboard sathya.

Can I get the schedule itinery of this series with start and end time (the concert schedules is not available yet). Since vijay tv is co-sponsoring it , I am assuming it will be telecast soon.

Hopefully it is not 60 to 90 minute concert with audience interaction and questions and answer session etc, but instead atleast 2 hours each of uninterrupted music without dilution of classicism.

I attended a 1 hr+ concert by Manasi Prasad followed by a 30+ minute documentary on MLV and then a 90 minute concert by Sikkil Gurucharan. I missed a Mandolin concert which was scheduled at 5 PM and definitely some part of Manasi's concert as I went in at 6:30 PM. There was a theme for the concerts - it was Devi Kritis for Manasi (we had Saraswati Namostute and a Kalyani main with Bhajare Re Citta) & Venkatesa kritis for SGC (there was a beautiful Surutti alapana & Sri Venkata Girisam).

There were no interactive sessions. Vijay TV was seen talking to the audience as they came out for their feedback / sound bytes (and asked them to mention the program's name :) and say good things about it!)

It was easy for me to attend as the venue was very close to my workplace of the day.
