December Season 2018-2019 Schedules

[vijay.siddharth]

Hello all!

I have made a calendar for all schedules in the December-January music season in Madras. It is over here, https://calendar.google.com/calendar/b/ ... Z2xlLmNvbQ, in google calendar format. As of now, there is only Mudhra and Music Academy schedules over here. As and when more sabhas release schedules, I will add the schedules here.

Looking forward to this season!

Please do make it sticky

Kalarasana's schedule is out:
http://kutcheribuzz.com/images/Season-S ... turals.pdf

Updated in calendar

Kalarasana holding a 4 to 5 concerts in one of the best halls Rani seethai hall near Gemini was a phenomenal success atleast in concert audio quality. This happened for few decades till may be 2014 or 2015. Then Rani seethai hall was not affordable kalarasana moved to Chinmaya Hall in chetpet for the last few years , they had only very few concerts as the commercially they could not match up.

Now like nadopasana , kalarasana also moves to Ragasudha hall. Chennai in december season is still mylapore and mambalam centric. Chetpet and Nungambakkam has lost to mile Oh Pour again.

Updated on calendar as well.

A note about the calendar: since there are so many overlapping events, it will look very cluttered when you open the calendar, so please view it in Schedule mode by pressing the 'A' button to ease the clutter. Thanks in advance!

I have one "home page" on my phone devoted to calendar. When the season begins, I will have a second, devoted to concerts. Otherwise everything else is swamped

Is Bharat Sangeeth Utsav still happening? The listing, on artist websites, has gone.

What about Margazhi Maha Utsavam? Any news?

Hello Sir,
Do you have pdf version of the concerts scheduled in Dec 2018 season at Music Academy. The Google calendar link you provided somehow doesn't work when I try to open it.
Also, I want to attend Carnatic concerts from 16th Dec 2018 onwards at Music Academy in Chennai. Do I need to buy tickets online well in advance or will I get the tickets at the counter on the day of the concert? Please let me know.
Many thanks
Hemanth

It all depends on the concerts of the artists whom you want to attend. Pristine music of great artists like TN Krishnan, Seetha Narayanan, OST, TVS, Jayanthi Kumaresh etc., are usually in the 9AM slot, which is normally an "All are Welcome" slot, as you wont find lot of takers "Paying" to hear "Quality" Music.

For the ticketed evening concerts like those of Malladi Bros, Lalgudi Siblings etc., you would definitely get tickets on the morning of the day's concert as again you would rarely get a full house for such quality music.

For the rest of the "Showmanship" category of musicians, it can indeed be quite a challenge to get tickets, unless you have an insider helping you out or unless you are prepared to stand in the queue, starting very early in the day.

Are you going to keep adding the concerts to this calendar? It is a great work if you can do it!

SureshVV used his technical skills to populate a calendar last year. Wonder if he will do it this year?

Thrimoorthi sangeetha sabha Pozhichalur- Dec 2018 season
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the best sabhas that starts the concert at 05:30 pm. Here is the list of artists that was published in engagement yesterday on Nov 23rd in The Hindu

Nov 23rd - Fri- Prema rangarajan
Nov 24th - Sat - Vasudha Ravi
Nov 25th - Sun - Sid Sriram

Nov 26th - Mon - Aishwarya Shankar
Nov 27th - Tue - Shertalai Ranganatha Sharma
Nov 28th - Wed- Salem Gayathri
Nov 29th - Thurs - Maharajapuram ganesh vishwanathan
Nov 30th - Fri -J A Jayanth (Flute)
Dec 01st- Sat - Abilash Giri Prasad
Dec 02nd - Sun - TNS Krishna

Dec 03rd - Mon - Kruthi Bhat, niece of vittal ramamurthy , this young vidushi is from Texas.
Dec 04th - Tue - S Srivatsan - another disciple of AS Murali.
Dec 05th - Wed - A S Ram - I just googled to find that AS Ram is keyboard artist. I may be wrong .
Dec 06th- Thurs - Suryaprakash

This sabha is the best sabha as the concert is for 3 to 3 and half hours with very minimal speech at the end to just announce the next days artist. Chennai musical content centre is neither mylapore nor mambalam, it is actually Pozhichalur

Apologies for not typing the accompanist names from The Hindu .

As requested. This thread is being made sticky till the 2018-19 Music season concludes. Great effort to have it all here.

[Sachi_R]

How about this idea.

Rasikas.org creates a new forum folder called Concert schedules.
Each day is a thread. People can update and add events.

So if I want to see what's happening on 23 Dec 2018, I open that thread. I can then search by venue or artiste name.

All in one place. No need to go to Google calendar etc.

The advantage of Google calendar is that it can be synced to your mobile, can pop up reminders, get linked to google maps and Uber etc.

[SrinathK]

Another calendar for the December Music Season is here : http://www.chennaidecemberseason.com/p/ ... endar.html - it will give you the map location as well.

The google calendar may be found here : https://goo.gl/QdiX5B - this is being updated in case of scheduling changes as well.

Since this is a complete calendar, request mods to make this link sticky and also put this up in GD where more people can see it.

[RasikasModerator2]

A sticky thread has been made in General Discussions with all the info in this thread. Kindly share the link on your social media and to your circles who wish to attend.

An exhaustive calendar for the December Music Season for 24 different sabhas is available here in the links below :

http://www.kutcheribuzz.com/schedules-2018 -- This is organized sabha wise.

Another link : http://www.chennaidecemberseason.com/p/ ... -2018.html - Again Venue Wise.

The google calendars shared in this thread have a lot of easy to use facilities, but unfortunately they are not exhaustive of all the venues by a long shot.

It would be very nice if a team could take the trouble to make the calendars more exhaustive or filter them by venue. This is not a small endeavour.

Request rasikas to also watch out for the events list in the Hindu, etc.

[SrinathK]

I am making a map of all the venues hosting the December music season (which I hope to expand to a larger scale later). Can someone help and share a list of venues that are not mentioned in the links above (maybe by looking at artist individual schedules)?
