Season's Buzz

"For a woman, the achievement is all the more precious . . ."

Leela Samson, dancer and guru was a special guest at the 'sadas' - the finale - of the Conference and Concerts of The Music Academy, Chennai on January 1, 2019.

Meditative Music before dawn

Vocalist K. Gayatri launched the 2018 edition of the Prabhata Sangeetham series of margazhi concerts some days ago at this Luz apartment. A series that ends on Jan.13, 2019.

A fest in Velachery

Velachery is perhaps Chennai's most bustling new neighbourhood now: all because it is home to people of the IT Corridor companies.

It is a joy to be at Kalakshetra's campus. Verdant, less quiet though than before and the moderate chill of Chennai setting in as dusk falls. The lights come alive at Rukmini Arangham, large kolams welcome you: eco thoranams expressed creatively and dozens of students scampering to guide guests or show them their seats.

New set of music festivals: bold and big

The Season is evolving in Chennai. Private entertainment bodies are finding ways to curate and promote concerts in their own ways and create different festivals of their own.

Karaikudi Mani honoured

Narada Gana Sabha's managers did a quick job of the opening session of their festival launch on December 14 evening in Alwarpet.

You must forgive the team at Chennai Cultural Academy in T. Nagar for bravely carrying on with their Season at the Karnataka Sangha hall on Habibullah Road.

Five Artistes Honoured

The team at Sri Thyaga Brahma Sabha at Vani Mahal in T. Nagar make sure they put a grand look to the stage to colour the opening evening of their Season festival.
