National Programme Of Music

[CRama]

One of my friends who is writing an article on AIR, seek the following information. He has requested my help to get the information.
On what date the first National programme of Music of AIR was held? Who was the Hindustani musician who performed it.
After two or three national programmes a Carnatic music recital must have been held. Who was that musician, i.e., who was the first Carnatic musician who gave the recital on the national programme.

2. The first Radio Sangeet Sammelan (Akashvani Sangeet Sammelan) is said to have held on 23 October 1954. Who were the Hindustani and Carnatic musician who gave concerts in the first Sangeet Sammelan.

I hope that some of our senior members will be in a position to give the above information. Kindly respond. My advance thanks
