Heavy rains hit Madras on Saturday night and the probability of the postponement of the Sunday Kutcheri looked high.
But young Flautist N. Amrithakatesh, a class 10 student of PS Senior Secondary School was undeterred by all this. He was present at 545am at the Chess square of the Nageswara Rao Park and was not one to let this opportunity pass. He was all excited to present the mikeless Sunday Kutcheri in the park even if it meant Umbrellas had to be organised by Sundaram Finance to prevent the rain drops.
Encouraged by the music connoiseurs and the morning walkers who had gathered around him, Amrithakatesh, who is a disciple of 'Sangeetha Kalanidhi' Dr. N Ramani and Shri. Sanjeev presented a lively Flute Recital. He was accompanied on the Violin by Shri Papanasam Chandrasekar and on the Mridangam by Chi. Shivshankar.
He presented songs that included Raghuvamsasudha (Kathanakuthulam, Adi), Nagumo (Abheri, Adi), Chinnachiru Kiliye (Ragamalika, Adi/Rupakam) and Bhagayanaya (Chandrajyothi, Adi).
TT Srinivasaraghavan, MD, Sundaram Finance was present on the occasion and handed over certificates and mementos.
Sundaram Finance has been organising the monthly Sunday Kutcheri in the Park since February 2006 with the aim of providing opportunities to children aged below 15years. Sundaram Finance conducts audition to select the artistes.
