VEENA NAVARATHRI 2008

The Veena Foundation and Indira Gandhi National Council for the Arts came together once again this year to celebrate the Veena Navarathri in Chennai with a series of Veena concerts for nine consecutive days. Shri Raghurama Ayyar is the person behind this veena movement so to speak, and his enthusiasm is driven by his passion for the instrument. Karthik Fine Arts, Narada Gana Sabha and Parthasarathy Swami Sabha supported this endeavour.

The theme of the festival was Guru-Shishya Parampara and gave us the opportunity to showcase our disciples. The link to the review of our concert that appeared in The Hindu is given below. One factual error in the report is that Revathy is mentioned as our disciple but she has not actually learnt from us; she is an alumnus of our alma mater Sri Guru Guha Gana Vidyalaya, Kolkata.
