Dr L Subramaniam: Hamsadhvani

Hey Thats how its is played.. It adds beauty

If someone plays out of tune with an uncertain tone control, it never adds beauty. Hey.

Thanks :-)

Is the Temple of Arts associated with the Annalakshmi restaurants? So this must be a new temple in Malaysia - is it in KL??

If I am not mistaken, Temple of fine arts is not a temple where they do "poojas" to cater for a mass crowd. It's a place where anyone can learn fine Indian arts. Annalaxmi restaurants are associated with it. They have built a new building at Brickfields. If you are in KL why don't you visit them.

on this special day, the grace of the great master fell upon one of us whom dr l subramaniam was very fond of, and invited him to "support" him (dr l subramaniam). it was a very informal affair, but filled with good feelings of inspiration and grace.

Informal is so much more nicer - it is more intimate. I remember a very informal concert by LS at Indore way back in the 80s - it was in a small lecture hall in a college campus - it was astounding!!

you are right - informal is so much nicer, more intimate. in fact, at the temple of fine arts we do a lot of informal performances in effort to get our students and audiences more and more comfortable with the art of performance. it seemed one of the best ways to bring out the "devotion" and "spirit" in the aspiring performance student.
