It was a Sunday Kutcheri with a difference. Moving away from the usual carnatic music performance that one has been accustomed to on the first Sunday of every month, the November edition of the Sundaram Finance Sunday Kutcheri at the Nageswara Rao Park in Mylapore saw 12 year old Sriram Sridhar, a 7th class student of Bharathi Vidyalaya, Perumbakkam, present a violin performance on Sunday morning (2nd November 2008).
Sriram has been learning Violin from Smt. Padma Sankar (disciple of Lalgudi Jayaraman). Sriram has also been training in Carnatic Vocal from Smt. Sankari Krishnan.
Sriram was accompanied on the Mridangam by V. Santhanagopalakrishnan and on the Ganjira by S. Balaji.
Some of the songs Sriram presented were Enna Thavam (Aadhi Thaalam, Kapi, P.Sivan), Kurai Onrum (Raagamaalika, Aadhi), Marivarey (Anandha Bairavi, Shyama Sastri) and Shobillu (JaganMohini, Rupakam, Thayagarajar).
In addition to this solo performance, Sriram has also been playing the role of a Violin accompanist in the ongoing Sundaram Finance Sunday Kutcheri in the Park.
