The highlight of this "Mic'less concert series" is the ambience. Also the vocalists sing without accompanists. Percussion accompanists are provided for the violin solos only.

Prominent "rasikas" like Coolkarni have graced the Concert series with their presence whenever possible. I request rasikas to participate in large numbers.

Note :
1) There will be no concerts held from the 31st of December to the 2nd of January.

2) On the 10th and 11th there will be a 6 half-hour performances by discerning students. The
performers are :

10-Jan Saturday Master Vishwanath - Master Vignesh - Sri Hareesh Sriram
11-Jan Sunday Kum.Manaswini Ramachandran - Kum.Sahana & Kum.Saindhavi -
Kum.Ubhayabharathi

ALL ARE WELCOME.

Fantastic, gives me a healthy routine for my stay.....early morning concert, go back home via Baba mandir....to a healthy breakfast at Mylapore Karpagambal mess....Vijay, Prashant, Coolji and others from Rasika....on any one day when I am there, we could all go together for a breakfast....my shout !!

Sounds very good. Why is it that I miss the venue in the post?
Sam, obviously you do know where it all takes place. You have even planned your way to Karpagambal!

Sam Swaminathan · Post by **Sam Swaminathan** » 03 Dec 2008, 13:21

Easy, Arasi....From Easwaran's house, pedal along devanathan street, cross Baba temple and reach the park. Reverse your direction, back to Baba temple, run along south mada street, and bingo, there you are !!! And you too are most welcome to the breakfast...my treat !!

Thanks, Sam! But, is pedalling compulsory?

I see your nostalgia filled 'coming to visit home town' tone in your post...

Sam Swaminathan · Post by **Sam Swaminathan** » 04 Dec 2008, 01:48

Just imagine Arasi.....early morning bath in the normal tap water...no need to heat up or any thing like that.....a cup of pure south indian, just now made coffee from the hands of my manni, a nice ironed fresh veshti, with vibuthi on the forehead, a nice cotton shirt to match, jump on the cycle, pedal along on a sedate speed, avoid that erumai madu, twist the cycle to give room for that mami making that kolam, apply the brake for the paalkaran crossing the road to deliver the milk who does not care to look at the traffic...finding room to park your cycle, ensure it is well locked, debate to yourself where to park your chappels, so that you can identify it later and at the same time ensure that it is not conspicous to be an attraction for the chappal thief....fan yourself to dry that mild perspiration from the morning exercise and at last, closing your eyes to that Saveri Varnam filling the air, your lung, your head and your senses....only chennai can give you that.....nostalgia....yes m'am....and just pure bliss......

This reminds me of a wondeful program I had witnessed in Lalbagh, Bangalore in December 2006.
It was on a sunday morning. The concert had started around 6:30 or so. It happened to be a beautiful sunny morning. It was a great experience to listen to live carnatic music in the beautiful Lalbagh surroundings.
I remeber it was a flute program (Vidvan Sarvottam, I believe). He was accompanied by N Vasudeva on Mrudanga.

I was told the program was a weekly feature, called udayarAga (or something similar).

I believe a similar program is conducted in the beautiful Cubbon Park also.

Sam,
Exactly; when I read your post, Iwas transported to Mylapore; how I would l love to be there and do all the things- not all- because, I will be the one making the coffee, and Iwould be walking and not cycling. Iwould give anything to be able to do all these. As I wrote in one of my posts earlier, I may be out of Mylapore but Mylapore is not out of me.
Feel nice to read about all this.Thanks for making me nostalgic.

How nice, Sam... don't forget the mellifluous sound of Easwaran Sir's accompaniment for the sAvEri varNam

I hope you have a wonderful visit!!!!
