On the auspicious occassion of Tamil New Year, just around Vishu and Ugadi, we celebrated as a large community in the manner of the Carnatic Symphony, at the 47th year of the Cleveland Thyagaraja Festival (CTF) - @clevelandthyagarajafestiva5464 . A brain-child of Kalaimamani KN Shashikiran, an assorted selected of songs - Carnatic and otherwise - nottu swaram, bhajans, varnam, swarajathis, nursery rhymes and more - are presented in an Orchestral musical arrangement live - sometimes Western, sometimes Egyptian, and sometimes other forms of world music.
Students of CarnatiCalifornia led by Smt Surabhi Vijay participated in this grand presentation and enjoyed the whole process, ranging from months of Bay Area rehearsals, to live rehearsals in Cleveland and the final presentation, presided over by several dignitaries including Cleveland Veeravanallur Sundaram, Neyveli Santhanagopalan, and others.
Western Orchestra led by Professor Leo Coach, Genevieve Gilbert, Skip and others.
