I am so happy to read that Manakkal is singing on the inaugural day. And such superb accompanists! Please, please, record this concert for our sakes!
Coolkarni saab, are you listening??

[jayaram]

And then we have OST, RKS etc. Truly a galaxy of top-class musicians. How I wish I was in Madras!

[rbharath]

I am here for as many days possible.

I expect Carnatica to release this concert , as an album-at some point of time.You may have to wait till then...

[jayaram]

Hope they also do a video recording. Would be a collector's item...

(I know Eldams Road... where is Tattvaloka?)

[coolkarni]

as you travel from the teynampet -signal to the alwarpet-signal,
on the left hand side - aprroximately halfway distance.
new building -you cant miss it.
cannot park on this road , but there is a lane right opposite this building.
Also remember to put on your old -worn out -pair of footwear for concerts here.
The organisers insist on separating you from your footwear ,in this auditorium - and i have never been able to resist the urge to keep going back to see if.....

[rajeshnat]

The venue is exactly opposite to a corporation school . I had the trouble to find out for the first time .

[srkris]

You can view the corporation school ground here...

ho ho ho very funny.

[Nick H]

Thanks for the directions.

I'd certainly check out the Wikimapia location but, for some reason, it is telling me to get a new browser, preferably Firefix --- I'm using up-to-date firefox!

I'll try that again another day.

What is the funda of 108 legendary artists. Are they going to be covered in multimedia presentation.Throw some light??

Importantly if you can break on what legends you are covering on each day(i am not insisting you to break and type 108 artists , but atleast some logical grouping that you may have can be given....)That will help me to select and make it up for few.

Embrace the internet with details...

[rajumds]

if you go from teyanmpet signal towards alwarpet signal, you will have to meet the cop before you reach the venue. it is a one way. you have to come from alwarpet signal
