Kalakshetra in Chennai is hosting the Rukmini Devi birthday celebrations on Monday, 1st March 2021 @ 8.30 am. Venue: Rukmini Arangam.
Kalakshetra is presenting a five-day festival 'Remembering Rukmini Devi Festival' from 25th Feb to 1st March at its campus in Chennai.
Live classical music and dance concerts are slowly but surely pepping up the cultural scene in Chennai - all of which had to be suspended early last year due to the pandemic.
This was a different kind of aradhana at Thiruvaiyaru in Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu. The aradhana that pays homage to saint Thyagaraja at his samadhi on the banks of the Cauvery river.
A number of artistes have been chosen for the state's Padma awards this year. The names were announced on Jan.25, on the eve of India's Republic Day.
The organisers of the annual Thyagaraja aradhana in Thiruvaiyaru, Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu have asked artistes who wish to take part in the mass singing of the pancharatna kritis at the 2021 aradhana to carry a Covid negative certificate if they wish to take part and to also register themselves with the host.
The annual Thyagaraja aradhana at the place where the famed Carnatic music great attained mukthi, in Thiruvaiyaru in Thanjavur district in Tamil Nadu will be held this year but in a short format due to pandemic time regulations.
Tamil Isai Sangam in Chennai is also going online with its annual Tamil isai festival for December. The fest, its 78th edition, from Dec.21 to 29 offers five days of concerts, with two concerts on some days.
If there is a good example of presenting Carnatic music concerts in a unique setting this margazhi sason while following pandemic time regulations, then one must point to the festival of Sunaadlahari that is currently on in Alwarpet in south Chennai
The December Season festival curated by the Federation of City Sabhas of Chennai was formally inaugurated on December 15 evening by the vice president of India, Venkaiah Naidu via video-conferencing.
