  Dear members, Our talented children in the April 2015 line up enjoyed the music savvy yet encouraging audience in our CCC event yesterday. Many thanks to all those members who made an effort to attend the performances. Geeta Shankar, our lead presenter for the March JAM session started off the event with her JAM participants to present Carnatic Harmony with the famous English Notes and congratulations to Geeta for doing a fantastic job. Many children participated with so much enthusiasm and the presentation came out so nice! Please watch out for the video clip and the summary from her soon! Adharsh, Urmika and Harini were the three new vocalists we introduced yesterday and they all did an outstanding job with their Shankarabaranam, Kambodhi, Keeravani presentations. Saranya’s Kalyani was so melodious on the veena and Misha, Gayathri, Ananya and Ranjani all presented Ghana ragams with its core essence (Thodi, Shanmugapriya, Bhairavi and Reethigowlai respectively) giving our audience a wonderful music treat! Our intro mrudanigsts Kaushik and Shrikanth played wonderfully well thus adding themselves to the talented large pool we already have in CCC! All the accompanists in CCC put in that extra effort to meet with the performers ahead of time so the children can present their best on stage and kudos to the parents for those extra planning and driving around! It may sound like a cliché but our sincere thanks to our volunteers who make the events go so smoothly like a well-oiled machine (of course with a lot of encouraging, positive emotions!).  Pictures of those precious moments will surely follow soon, thanks in advance to Prasanna! Please save Sunday May 10^th 2015 for our next event. I’ll send out a separate note with details on the digital advertisements for the August special event shortly. உங்கள் உனைவருக்கும் என் இனிய மன்மத புது வருட புத்தாண்டு வாழ்த்துக்கள்!
