Dear members,

It was a lovely event yesterday in which our children chose to present content appropriate for the day; either by performing the ragams they love (apt for Valentines Day) or by presenting composition on Lord Surya as it was Ratha Sapthami! Our humble and sincere thanks to all of you who graced the occasion with your presence and blessed our children.

Thamba gave a bright start with Tamizh krithis, Janani-Mythri’s synchronized duet, (future) Warrior Anirudh’s Sankarabharanam, Sripradha’s ezhilaana voice, Varnika’s kambodhi, Vaidehi’s Thodi, Shreyas’ melodious Charukesi, and Vivrd’s RTP on Suryakantham were a treat to those who attended. Shaini, Yogitha, Malini, Aditya, Aparna, Vignesh provided string support for the vocalists nicely and Kaushik, Adarsh, Avinash, Santhosh, Shrikrishna, Akshay Aravindan, Achyut and Ajay provided blameless beats! Our humble pranams to all the teachers who helped the students prepare and present their best in CCC!

Our Feature-A-Guru segment presented by Vidwan Sri Arvind Lakshmikanthan had extremely valuable tips for our performers and was well received.

Many thanks to all the volunteers (core team + parents of Feb performers) who helped with event day logistics and hope you enjoy the pictures and videos from our event (courtesy of Prasanna).

Please save Saturday, March 12th from 4pm to 7pm for our next event. We will also be sending out the sign up form for the March CCC Sangeeta Saaram Series 2 session led by Dr.Shivkumar Bhat and feel free to sign up your child if they are interested in attending the session.

Regards,

Padma Mohan
