Flute Kutcheri Advaith

Enthralls Park audience with a confident performance

13 year old R. S. Adhvaith (Disciple of K. V. Ramanujam) presented a lively Flute Kutcheri this Sunday (Dec 2) morning between 7am and 8am at the chess square of the Nageswara Rao Park in Mylapore. Mikes and speakers are not used at the Kutcheri in the Park. Accompanied on the Violin by D. Shyam Ragav and on the Mirudangam by V Balaji, Adhvaith enthralled the audience comprising of morning park walkers and kutcheri regulars with his flute rendition. Adhvaith presented compositions that included Mahaganapathim (Naatai/Adi), Saadinchaney (Aarabhi/Aadi), Saabapathihu (Aabhogi /Rupakam) and Anupama Gunabhothi (Aatana/Kandachapu).

Vasantha Rajagopal, a regular at the Sunday Kutcheri said that “playing an instrument at such a young age in front of a big audience can be challenging. It was a great opportunity for the boy to showcase his talent this morning. This presentation in front of an informal audience will help him develop as a musician. I commend Sundaram Finance for providing opportunities to young artistes aged below 15 years to present such Kutcheris at the Nageswara Rao Park.”

Another regular walker at the park said that he usually turns up late for the morning walk every day of the month “On the first Sunday of every month, I start my walk early so I can watch such talented young artistes perform at the Mikeless Kutcheri.” Bhuvaneswari, who was present this morning at the Chess Square to watch the Mikeless Kutcheri said “the flute recital of Adhvaith was a treat to the ears.” G Harikrishnan, GM, Sundaram Finance presented certificates and mementos to the artistes.
