Aural feast
NORMALLY HAMSADHWANI holds an NRI festival of 30 concerts during December and an annual festival of 80 concerts in the months of March and April. Now it has changed the format by combining the two and is organising a festival from December 11, 2004 to March 27, 2005 (for 100 days). From December 11 to January 2, 2005, 35 NRI music and 11 dance performances will be held for the 10th year, followed by nine Hindustani concerts by middle level local artistes for the most part, for five days, from January 3.
The 15th annual festival will be held from January 14, featuring 50 senior and 30 junior vidwans, five Tamil plays and a five-day special Harikatha, "Thyagaraja Ramayanam," by Madurai T.N.Seshagopalan. Purandaradasar kritis will be exclusively sung by octogenarian, R. K. Srikantan, when a cash award will be given to Ramamurthy, who has been teaching bhajans for 50 years now.
