All are Welcome.

Dr. Renganatha Sharma comes from the rich musical lineage of Kerala, instituted by Semmangudi Srinivasa lyer. After doing M. A., M.Phil., and PhD, all in Carnatic Music, Dr.Sharma is now the Professor of the Music College in Madurai. He has won numerous awards from organizations like the Music Academy,Indian Fine Arts and Sri Ragam Fine Arts in Chennai. He is also Asthana Vidwan of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam. He is an A Grade artist of AIR and DD and is performing regularly in both these media besides stage performances in almost all prestigious carnatic music platforms.

A recap of the Annual Music Festival-20th -25th November 2012: It was extremely heartening to see the overwhelming response to all the seven concerts during the festival. There was unprecedented attendence levels and a huge personalised support from the audience. Nadasurabhi would like to send out our grateful thanks to each and every one of them. But for the huge turnout and support of sponsors, donors, members and volunteers it could not have been such a grand success. There was universal appreciation for the new auditorium, acoustics, sound management and general organisation of the event. We are eager to have the feedback ([email protected]) from one and all of you, so that we can improve even further during future even further.

Close up.



It was an excellent concert. I noticed (heard) and enjoyed the effortless sruti bedham in Thodi - sometimes a struggle even for senior musicians. Powerful voice. Never a lapse in sruti.

Yes, there was. Too short though, many would have missed it... and was it to Kalyani ?

[kssr]

Yes. It was kalyani. a beauty.

It seems Sri.GNB, who is the father of sruti bedham, used to say that you should gently slide into the other ragam and when people wake up and try to assimilate the change, you should quickly return to the original ragam, keeping the audience yearning for more - this is as narrated by his disciple Sri.Trichur Ramachandran during the GNB centenary concert at unnati.

Shertallai Dr.Sharma really demonstrated it. Amazing.
