VEENAVAADHINI STUDENTS IN LOCAL EVENTS
Young students of Veenavaadhini participated in local events in India and abroad recently.
Radha Madhuri played veena at Thyagaraja Music Festival organized by Hampton Road’s Association of Virginia, USA.
Master K. Vignesh participated in Thyagaraja Utsavam organized by Udayam, Kolkata. He was accompanied on the mridangam by Sri R Srinivasan. All of these were mini-programs of about 10 minutes each.
One must wholeheartedly applaud the efforts of organizations like these which conduct such programs year after year, providing opportunities to so many children pursuing our classical arts. In fact, for all established musicians giving full fledged concerts, these programs would have been their valuable first few steps in the career climb. It is also most appropriate to have one’s first stage performance to be a tribute to the Trinity of Carnatic Music (Thyagarajaswamy, Muthuswamy Dikshitar and Syama Sastri), since it is only their compositions that form the basis of any carnatic recital. 
HR Kamakshi and HR Meenakshi presented a vocal recital under the auspices of Kalaranjani on January 1, 2010. They were accompanied on the violin by Kumbakkonam Selvaprasad and on the mridangam by Gomathishankar. Samskruthi.info reviewed their concert. Click Here To View.
