It was a day of superlatives. With almost 150 participants, groups from 17 different music teachers and 6 different dance teachers, three mini concerts and a mini dance performance, the marathon all day celebration of Purandaradasa Day by Shruti Laya was a breathtaking spectacle. All the young artists had trained for days for this event, and the results once again showed how talented our kids are in these traditional Indian arts of Carnatic Music, Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi .
Purandaradasa is known as the sangithapitamaha, or father of music, because he created most of the material used for teaching Carnatic music even today. It was therefore fitting that the program began with a group of beginners singing three geethams that he composed. Professor Marehalli Prasad briefly shared with us the greatness of Purandaradasa.
This was followed by almost seven hours of music and dance performances by the talented students in our area. For those who missed these performances, and those who would like to relive them again, we present the audio clips and photographs below.
Shruti Laya would like to thank all the teachers, whose hard work made this program a grand success. We would also like to thank the volunteers who made this possible, Subu Garikapati, Mani Sundaram, Saikishore Palluru, Srinivas Tangella, Satya Challapalli and Bala Nori. Thanks also to Ms.Lori Golan, Priniciple of PS 24, and custodian Kevin Campbell, for allowing us to use these facilities.
