About
Carnatic Music lovers of Long Island and the Five boroughs of New York, now have Shruti Laya to fulfill their dreams of listening to the favorite artists perform in their neighborhood! The New York area has a large number of rasikas, with a deep interest in Carnatic music. It still gives them great pleasure to listen to this timeless music. Thanks to the many excellent teachers in this area, they are even able to ensure that their children learn this divine art. Shruti Laya was started in April of 2008 to fill the needs of this large group of Rasikas. By the grace of Goddess Saraswathi and the support and enthusiasm of the rasikas, it had a hugely successful first year. The Inaugural program of Shruti Laya was held on May 22 2008, featuring the one and only Sri. T.M.Krishna who began his concert with these words of encouragement. This was followed by four more major concerts by Sri.Seshachary (who composed a pallavi for the occasion in Vagadeeshwari "Saraswathi Namostute, Shruti Laya Nivasine". You can hear a segment at our home page), Sri.Sanjay Subrahmanyan, Smt.Ranjani and Smt.Gayatri, and Sri. Ravi Kiran (who also composed another pallavi on Shruti Laya! You can hear this here. We also introduced upcoming artists like Smt. Nishtala Krishnaveni and Sri Shenkottai Hari in solo concerts, and young American talents like Kum.Rajna Swaminathan, Chi. Akhay Ananthapadmanabhan and Chi. Suhas Rao as accompanists. The culmination of the first year's activities was an Annamacharya Day program. In this program, we offered young students of the classical arts - Carnatic music, Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi - an opportunity to perform on stage in front of an encouraging and appreciative audience. The participation was overwhelming - over 100 participants took to the stage - and helped us finish on a high note.
