One evening this week, young vocalist Mysore N. Srinath with mridangist Narendra and violinist Archana Matre were on stage at the festival of Sree Ramaseva Mandali in Chamarajpet. They had begun the concert at about 5 p.m. and may have had a dozen people as audience, half of whom were family. ( the photo here is of the three artistes on stage)
And yet the trio carried on with their calling. The hosts could not afford to put on all the lights nor the fans and the shaman may not have been the best place to listen to music on a day Bangalore bore the heat at about 36degrees. But Srinath and Co. did what they had been invited to.
Young artistes are get a stage at the festival in Seshadripuram and at Vani Kala Kendra; in fact at the latter's venue some of the youngsters are those who learn music/dance at Vani'w campus training and their concerts are well publicized.
The fact that these young artistes get their names into the festival brochures does help to get the buzz around.
