KSSR,
I would like to know about Smt. Shubha Santhosh's training (Guru?). I could not find that in the brief information (google search also did not bring up anything). Would you be able to help me on that?
Thanks!

Nadasurabhi in association with Suswaralaya College of Music presented a Veena concert by Vidushi Shubha Santhosh as part of the monthly programme. Vidushi Shubha, a B High grade artist of AIR holding a Vidwat degree to her credit, made a sincere attempt at giving an appealing concert. Chalamela varnam in Natta kuranji gave her a good start. Sreemaha ganapathi in Gowla with a short swara prasthara and a fast Varanarada in Vijayasree with good sangathis reflected her high confidence level. Kedaragoula raga presentation was neat and compact and was followed by Thyagaraja's Venuganaloluni. Shubha started off Simhendramadhyama with a breeze and the composition Ninnenammithi of Mysore Vasudevacharya was treated with grace. She did neraval at anupallvi - pannagendra shayana, followed by kalpana swaras. A brisk 'Tarakka Bindige' of Purandarasa was welcome at that juncture and Meevalla gunadosha of Thyagaraja was yet another fast presentation which set the ground for RTP. Following the tradition to present it in the raga with which she started the varnam, she selected Natakuranji for RTP. She presented ghanaraga malika thana and also attempted gaja thana, chakra thana, ashwa thana and manduka thana and throughout she paid full concentration and her dedication to the concert was evident in all aspects. The pallavi 'Nattai kurinji enbaar....' in tamil was set to Adi tala and in 2 kales. The ragamalika swara included Nattai, kurinji, vasantha,bhairavi,mohana, todi,kalyani and a few more apart from nattaikurinji. Hamsanandi Thillana marked the end of the concert with Neenamarupa for mangalam. Shubha is a very humble, enthusistic and dedicated artist who with more practice and guidance from a senior artist would make it to the higher level easily. Vidwan M.R. Sainath a senior artist working with AIR was on the Mridangam and yet another veteran artist Vidwan Dayananda Mohite played on Ghatam. Both of them gave very good support to the artist and made it a good programme.


Harini Raghavan.
