It was a Sunday Kutcheri with a difference. For a number of people, for whom the mikeless kutcheri had become a regular feature over the last 12months, there was a pleasant surprise in store when they gathered around the Chess Square of the Nageswara Rao Park in Mylapore at around 615am on the first Sunday of April 2007.
The park walkers too on Sunday morning were drawn towards the chess quadrangle by the sweet tunes emanating from the flute of 10 year old N Visveshwar, a class 6 student of Modern Senior Sec School, Nanganallur, who captivated the audience with a heart rendering flute recital at the Sundaram Finance Sunday Kutcheri in the Park between 6:30am and 7:30am.
Visveshwar was accompanied by N Ram on the violin, R Santosh Kumar on the Mridangam and Shri Sainath on the Ghatam.
Visveshwar has been learning flute from his Guru - Sri S V Ramaraja.
The aim of the ‘Sundaram Finance Sunday Kutcheri in the Park’ is to promote budding youngsters showcase their musical talent. Sundaram Finance Sunday Kutcheri in the Park is open to children aged below 15 years and is organised on the first Sunday of every month between 6:30am and 7:30am.
An audition committee, set up by Sundaram Finance, conducts an audition to finalise the artistes.
An interesting feature of the Sundaram Finance Sunday Kutcheri in the park is that no mikes and speakers are used.
