A Symphony of Tradition: Shyam Venkat's Masterful Evening
In an era where modern distractions often overshadow tradition, Shyam Sundar Venkat illuminated the stage with a concert that transcended performance, offering a soulful journey through Carnatic music. Shyam’s mastery, cultivated under mentors such as Srinagaraj Bhagwatar and Vidwan Abhilash Giriprasad, shone as he expertly wove compositions from legends like Muthuswamy Dikshitar into the night’s tapestry. Joined by violinist Swapanthi Mallajosyula and mridangist Ramakrishna Neti, their performance was not just a display of talent but a celebration of cultural heritage. Behind the scenes, family, volunteers, and GEMHS Initiative BYOM contributed to an unforgettable evening, blending tradition with modern technology to amplify the music’s reach.

Ashvin Hari's Mridangam Arangetram - A Melodious Journey
The Arangetram of Ashvin Hari, a disciple of Poovalur Sriji, was a memorable celebration of music and tradition. With a talented ensemble of artists, including C.S. Sajeev (vocalist), Vittal Ramamoorthy (violin), and Vikom Gopalakrishnan (ghatam), the event brought together rhythm, melody, and harmony to create an unforgettable experience. Hosted at the spacious Adithi venue, the concert saw meticulous planning from Ashvin's parents, Uma and Hari, who ensured every detail was perfectly executed, from the decor to the food.
Poovalur Sriji, more than just a guru, was the guiding force behind this success, fostering Ashvin's growth and artistry. The concert culminated in beautiful music, heartfelt speeches, and a spirit of unity, making this Arangetram a treasured experience for all who attended.
