With over 150 eager participants performing almost 60 items of song and dance, Shruti Laya's Papanasam Sivan Day festival was an exuberant celebration both of the genius of the great composer, and of the abundant talent shining through our very own children and local artists. Many of the artists had travelled for miles to come to this spectacular event; and all of them had practiced so hard for so many hours for their few minutes on stage; The results of all this dedication and passion were plain for anyone to see, in the almost seven hours of outstanding performances.
The event started with a welcome by Sreenadh Jonnavithula, Director of Shruti Laya. Ramesh Ramasubramanian then spoke a few words about the life and works of Papanasam Sivan, setting the theme for the day’s events. This was followed by about 50 song performances, by groups large and small, young and old, from all the major music schools and teachers in our area and beyond. Topping off this musical extravaganza were ten marvelously choreographed and executed dance performances.
The grand finale of the day’s events was a concert by three young artists – all highly accomplished in music as well as highly educated – from around the area. The artists were introduced by Suhasini Jonnavithula, Director of Shruti Laya. Aditya Venkatesh from the Boston area presented a thematic concert of Papanasam Sivan songs, many of them very rare compositions. He was supported on the violin by Vivek Rudrapatna, and on the Mridangam by Laxmisha Sridhar.
An event of this magnitude would not be possible without the active help and support from many people who toiled behind the scenes. Shruti Laya would like to thank Vijaya Mani, Seetha Garikapati, Sujatha and Varalakshmi Ananthabhotla, Jaya Krishnan and Suhasini Jonnavithula for the delicious lunch they prepared and made available to the hungry artists and their parents; Andali Bhadrinath, Vidya & Chandrashekhar, Jaya & Sundar Venugopalan and Sumathi Sumangali for help with the food; and Subu Garikapati, Mani Ramasubramanyan, Suresh Ceyyur, Srinivas Tangella, Satish Kovvuri and Bhaskar Ananthabhotla for their help in setting up the hall and stage and running the event. And last but not least, our great thanks to the many teachers who toiled so hard to bring out this talent in our local artists, and their parents for supporting them through this, and finally, to all the artists, young and old, who made this day so memorable.
