O. S. Thiagarajan is a regular Bangalore traveller from Chennai. For he is featured at concerts round the year in the city.
It was his evening on stage for the mandali of the Vyalikaval Extension community.
This colony is a visual delight: this place is like no other in the Sri Ramanavami Season of music that we have covered. The streets are clean, the place tidy, street-space around the temple here is lit up with strings of small lights, mostly strung to trees. The temple is neat and welcoming and the small hall is good for a chamber-like concert.
This Saturday evening ( March 24), OST had with him on stage the veteran violinist C N Chandrasekar and two young, talented Bangaloreans who have made a name too - Akshay Anand on the mridangam and Sunaad Anoor on khanjira.
OST acknowledged his young co-artistes during the concert and the duo gave off their best.
Bangalore's now has a large crop of young, talented Carnatic musicians who deserve to be seen in Chennai. And some of them are jamming in various quarters.
Once the Vyalikaval concert was over, Sunaad had a 11 p.m. appointment - at an all-night concerts festival at a hall in another part of Bangalore.
OST, as the veteran vocalist is fondly called by rasikas was back in the city on Monday - to perform for the mandali in Seshadripuram.
