nadopasana sreenivasan

For about 7 years I am observing about this great man. He is a vaggeyakkara having written few hundred krithis in thamizh, there are few I have heard ,and quite recently there was an exclusive thematic composition of only him recently performed by varalakshmi anandakumar and was reviewed in this forum.

Overall as a vageyakkara , I cannot say much, but as an organizer he is just fabulous. Infact personally in chennai I like him and another kalakruthi arusuvai natarajan who is very fair to all artists.Some great things always happen in nadopasana.

# The concerts start on time , with the organizer srinivasan always comes atleast half an hour before or much more . He single handedly handles notices of the forthcoming concerts in his sabha.

# Spread of artists is very good to excellent , almost most of the artists are given chances and there is always nice rotation. Overall I cannot say for sure that he has given chances to all artists and he is fair for sure, but I would defaultly believe that he would have done it , unless proven wrong.

# He is holding the nadopasana fort for close to 42 years. His favourite musician is MDR. That explains many things for many of you, but slightly different than my maternal thatha who used to say often "after listening to MDR I stopped listening to many artists".

# He just goes around 2 or 3 rounds to check if the sound setting is uniform and also he takes feedback from many . He just does not put big banners and does not speak as the sabha secy of either opening or closing remarks. He himself goes and gets water bottles and hand delivers to artists in the stage.In short very forthcoming and he does not have any sabha prestige crown in his head. A true nadopasana there.

# A funny incident to recollect. Once in a concert of an upcoming artist (will keep that name under wraps).That singer has quite a lot of lung power. A young rasika perhaps the artists friend went to him and asked to raise the sound in bose stereo enabled hall in PS high school, mylapore ,which is nadopasana's first home. Sreenivasan told that young rasika "I am close to 70 , I am kind of half deaf , I can hear ,why can't you hear".It was a cool comment with his ever smiling face.Incidentally his call was right as I found the sound quite optimal.

An organizer to be showcased, indeed.
Would like to know of his compositions too.

Srinivasan was also very close to many musicians.
He lived next door to Dwaram Venkataswamy nayudu for many years ans was his very close friend

He is indeed a humble great human and he also attends concerts of other forums whenever he can, if Nadopasana does not conduct any programme on a given day. He is close to many vidwans of present day generation also. We as family owe a lot to him for his great thought of providing the first public opportunity for my son on the 9th Dec'01.
