So glad to see this. So many concerts in so many different places!
I hope many rasikAs get to hear her, and we can all get to read the reviews!
Canada has three concerts, I see.

Wishing a grand tour to the couple and Patri (a special addition who will make their concerts even better).

Wow yes as arasi said - quite a lot of concerts . One thing I look is is there any new concert venues that I am seeing in US - atleast I saw one - SouthBend , Indiana.. CML - hope you do the first strike with your ottawa review.Best wishes to the team.

[rshankar]

First off, best wishes for a wonderful tour!
I see a NJ concert, which I hope I will be able to make, travel permitting!
And yes, SB Indiana, home of Notre Dame university, and the college football hall of fame museum, and St. Joseph's Reg Med Centr (which housed our clinic away from home)...surprised that my old home town, Indianapolis, or for that matter Purdue, that are only a few hours away are not getting to host this wonderful musician.

[arasi]

Rajesh,
I recollect that South Bend has had a few concerts before--far and few though.

[meenaakshi]

For the past 20 plus years since AICMS’s inception in South Bend, we have been having one Carnatic music concert per year. Since our members are predominantly from the North, we tend to have more Hindustani music concerts.
I will post the songs list of Dr. Rama, who is my fav female artiste:)

rshankar, whenever you feel nostalgic you are welcome here:) Free tour of the College football hall of fame and room/board included in the deal:)

[rshankar]

Thank you Meenakshiji! I did not know that you were from South Bend...I will certainly keep you posted if I head that way again...although, these days all roads seem to lead to NOLA for me!

... surprised that my old home town, Indianapolis, or for that matter Purdue, that are only a few hours away are not getting to host this wonderful musician.

We, at Purdue, just hosted Dr. Vijayalakshmy Subramaniam last week. Indianapolis is going to host Smt. Gayathri Venkataraghavan (whom Purdue hosted last year) in a couple of weeks. So, the three Indiana locations collectively have three very good female vocalists covered for this Fall!!

[arasi]

Way to go, Indiana!
A beautiful fall line up for music with beautiful women artistes too

Thanks Vasanthakokilam for the correction. For whatever reason, I am not seeing the edit button next to my post, so I can't edit it in place now..
It is Balaji temple.

Thanks

[vasanthakokilam]

Fixed it in the first post as well. Thanks.
