Nandita presents Mikeless Kutcheri

As part of the monthly Sunday Kutcheri in the Park organised by Sundaram Finance, 12 year old Nandita Shankar, a class VII student of PSBB Millennium School presented a Mikeless Kutcheri on the first Sunday of March 2016 ( 6 March) between 7am and 8am at the Nageswara Rao Park in Mylapore. Nandita who is learning music from Guru Smt Niranjana Srinivasan, was accompanied on the Violin by R. Mathura Mathangi (Guru Villivakkam Sri S. Raghuraman) and on the Mirudangam by KP Arjun Sundaram (Guru Thillaistanam Suriyanarayanan).

Nandita presented compositions that included Brochevarevarura (Kamas – Adi),, Bhanturithi (Hamsanadham – Adi), Ramanukku Mannan Mudi (Indholam – Adi), Eppo Varuvaaro (Jonpuri – Adi), Mamava Pattabhirama (Manirangu – Misra Chapu) and Maragadha Valli (Kaambhoji – Adi). G Sundararajan, CFO, Sundaram Home Finance presented certificates and mementos to the artistes.

No Mikes and speakers are used at the Kutcheri. Organised on the first Sunday of every month, the idea of the Sunday Kutcheri in the Park is to provide opportunities to young budding talent aged below 15 years to present in front of an informal park audience amidst chirping birds and falling leaves. Over 1000 children have presented Kutcheri to-date since the launch in February 2006. Sundaram Finance conducts audition to select the artistes.
