I am giving below a few details about the tour of USA. by AISHWARYA. Kallidaikurichi Sivakumar will play Meidangam for most concerts. Dr.M.N.Narmadha, Jay Shankar Balan are among the various senior Violinists
A BRIEF DESCRIPTION ABOUT THE ARTIST & THE TOUR Kum. Aishwarya Vishwanathan

Aishwarya is the Granddaughter of Smt.Radha Vishwanathan (the only Disciple of M.S.) who has been teaching her (and training her for this North American tour) for several years. In addition to the Cleveland Concert where she is planning to render a repeat of the historic M.S. UNITED NATIONS ’66 CONCERT, in other locations she is hoping to evoke the memories of the M.S.Amma Concerts at various locations during her North American tours of 1966 &’76 by structuring the concert to bring to life MS’s presentations in each location (especially in Pittsburgh).. These concerts are intended as homage, Celebrations and tributes to M.S. She has been training under Radha the only disciple of M.S. and who accompanied her in EVERY one of her major concerts for over 65 years. She is already a very popular artist in India and considered the successor to M.S. It would be ideal if EACH Organization hosts and celebrates the occasion as their own tribute. Dr.V.K.Viswanathan will be the Contact Committee member from the Cleveland Aradhana. He can be reached at: vkv@juno.com Tel: 505-6612618(Land line) or 505-70090983 (Cell). He will co-ordinate all the necessary details and arrangements. Like MS, Aishwarya can present VARIOUS TYPES OF CONCERTS AS REQUIRED BY THE PARTICULR WISHES of the organizers and the audiences. We are keen ALL the aspects and varieties of the music of MS BE PRESENTED ON THIS TOUR. AS YOU KNOW the repertoire of M.S. was more than 2500 compositions in major Carnatic Music compositions as well as devotional songs in close to 15 languages of India. Aishwarya can render many of her favorites.
Please respond with your requirements and we will likely be able to present a suitable concert.

Kallidaikurichi Sivakumar (Mridangam) SENIOR MRIDANGAM ARTISTE disciple of Palghat Raghu will accompany her on the occasion.

Dear Forumites living in the Tri-State area:(NY/NJ/Conn) The concert under the auspices of the Hindu temple of North America(MahaVallabha Ganapathy) in Flushing,Queens has been arranged for SUNDAY MAY 15,@4:30 P.M. in the Hindu Temple Auditorium.

PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO YOUR FRIENDS AND MUSIC LOVERS IN THE TRISTATE AREA AND REQUEST YOUR PRESENCE.

As most of the forumites know(from VKV's and my postings on MSAMMA ) the 1977 tour of North America was primarily to raise funds for the Temples in New York,Pittsburgh and Washington D.C..
Aishwarya -- the torch bearer of the Great MSS-RADHA tradition --will be singing in the Auditorium that her Great Grandmother's philanthropy made possible.

Looking forward to meeting as many forumites living in this area as possibleThis by no means is meant to exclude music lovers from far and near!!!!(
Any questions or information regarding the new York(Queens/Flushing Concert) please contact me(718-969-1827).
