Nov CCC 2021 VIRTUAL Event

Dear all,

After an extended stay in Chennai with my aged parents, I returned home Thursday hence the delay in sending this summary out. I’d like to extend my sincere thanks to Mohan, Namdev and our volunteers for holding the fort while I was away and I’m happy that we were able to continue with our monthly events during my long trip (thanks to the virtual format which allowed me to coordinate from India).

Our November CCC event went so well with each of our performers presenting their best. We introduced Nirupama and Shashank on the vocals, Vrishank did his first violin solo and Chandrasekhar Kappagantula was introduced for violin accompaniment in this event. Charukesi was the highlighted raga in this event (unplanned though) and we heard it in vocal, violin and veena performances, with each bringing the beauty in a different way. The variety in the voices, paatandaram, compositions brought much joy in the short and sweet performances by our talented students. Kudos to each of our performers and accompanists for entertaining us for a solid block of 3 hours! I heard some grandparents got to watch the performances as well as the time was IST friendly during our October and November event, but we will return to our 2pm start from December onwards.

I am so happy we were able to dedicate a slot for our hardworking volunteers to acknowledge their help and support individually. We could not have done our virtual events this year without their help and support.

Hearty appreciation to all the students who participated in the quiz and Congratulations to the following top scorers in November. We are nearing the end of the year and prizes are awaiting for the yearly top scorers so keep participating to hold your spots! 

Here are the pics as well as the video, of the performances, if you missed watching them live.
