On April 7, two young artistes of Bangalore will get their chance on stage for the ongoing Sri Ramanavami Fest concerts at the Sangeetotsava at the Sri Vani Education Centre school in Basaweswara Nagar campus, Bangalore.
Sameer Atreya and R. Sindhu are slotted for that day. Both learnt their music at this campus like many others who have been nurtured here.
One man who will be happy to see them on stage is Mattur Lakshmi Keshava, educationist at SVCE for many years and much decorated artiste and music director. ( photo featured here)
Keshava is an integral part of the cultural activity at Vani's institutes which have also opened up their concert series to the public. ( His school's choral troupe has won a National award).
Besides, he guides the arts program here and curates the Ramanavami fest every year.
On the sidelines of a concert this past week in Bangalore he told us how he carefully picks and chooses the best artistes as well as young stars. Backed by the school management and supported by the community of the kids who study here, the Fest has grown.
Quite evident from the packed auditorium here this past week. On April 14, the concerts are by teenage artistes - M R Aditya, Amritha Rao and Tanushree N will be part of the concerts of that evening.
The fest closes on April 21 with a concert by the famed R Paramashivan, a state and central Akademi awardee who will present songs from old Kannada plays based on the Ramayana.
You can comtact Keshava at 97400 74875.
