Dear Members,
We have pleasure in forwarding to you the Annual Calendar of Programmes for the year 2023-24. In the tradition started last year, we shall commence the year's activities with a memorial concert for late Shri. V. S. Amarnath Sury. There can be no better tribute to Shri. Amarnath Sury and the extra-ordinary services that he had rendered to further the activities of the Sangeetha Vidyalaya than to remember him on the date of his demise with a memorial concert.
In the 70 years of history of our Sabha, this year is indeed most special. There are several milestones that we reach during this year each of which we all would be celebrating.

  We are millennials. We try to do things instinctively. The challenge of our generation is creating a world where everyone has a sense of purpose. Finding purpose is not enough. We should have a society that measures progress not by economic metrics like GDP, but also by preserving all that is ancient and all that transformed lives in the era gone by.
The Sabha has identified Nadaswaram as the art that would soon eclipse unless critical steps are taken to preserve and restore its pristine glory. As a first step, we will work towards listing it as a 'dying art' in the list of Dying Arts / Crafts and Traditions in India. We will strive to bring about changes in the corporate social responsibility sections of the Indian Companies Act, 2013 to give primacy to preservation efforts for Dying Arts / Crafts and Traditions. More than this, charity begins at home. The Sabha will take concrete steps to spread the fragrance of nadaswaram and make it a viable career option for the traditional nadaswaram families to transfer the art to the next generation of their kith and kin and revive the glory of the practitioners of yesteryears by effective use of the digital media.
 
The Sabha is setting up two awards inthe name Shri. T. N. Rajarathinam Pillai.
  • Sri Shanmukhananda Nadaswara Chakravarthi T. N. Rajarathinam Pillai Fellowship in Nadaswaram to be given to 50 young and promising students studying Nadaswaram with a fellowship grant of Rs. 1,00,000/-for three years certain. The fellowship grantees shall be selected by a panel which will comprise of eminent Nadaswaram Vidwans of present times. The terms and conditions of the fellowship will be no different than that of the Sri Shanmukhananda Bharat Ratna Dr. M. S. Subbulakshmi Fellowship in Music.
  • Sri Shanmukhananda Nadaswara Chakravarthi T. N. Rajarathinam Pillai Award. This annual award will be given to one of the leading lights of Nadaswaram with a distinguished record of performance and teaching. The award carries a cash prize of Rs. 1,00,000/-, a gold coated big bronze lamp and Nadaswaram, citation and other mementos.

  On 25" March 2023, the Sabha along with the South Indian Education Society is conferring the Spirit of Mumbai Awards on the occasion of the 3” observance of the corona pandemic. The programme flyeris enclosed. Please make it convenient to attend this function.
  The Sabha had in the past taken a liberal attitude towards allowing non-members to attend various programmes conducted by it. The Managing Committee of the Sabha has now decided to regulate the attendance at its various programmes only to members except Awards functions. This would require you to carry your membership id with you for production at the admission gates. Non-members will have to pay at the rates notified for each programme. This will apply to your kith and kin who accompany you but are not members of the Sabha. We would appreciate if you could enroll them as members.
 
Together let us strengthen our efforts to further the cause of fine arts and community healthcare.
  Yours sincerely,
 
Smt.Lakshmi Ramaswamy Smt.G.Subalakshmi
