Young Surprise
My music guru called me and invited me for a concert of a 12-year old student. Nishanth made his debut on stage today. Son of Dr. Subha Madhusudan and Dr. Madhusudan, the boy has good talent and showed it to maximum extent. Music guru, Vid. D V Nagarajan has trained him really well and gave a go ahead to perform today. I am sure the guru was confident that his student would perform well.
Nishanth was supported on the violin by his elder brother, Tejasvi. On the mridangam, it was Vinod (son of Vid. Anoor Shivu) and Sunaad (son of Vid. Anoor Datta) was on kanjira. With three elder supporting artists, it was like a small deer in between 3 tigers. If that was not enough, there were so many musicians and experts in the audience. Hope the kid didn't feel the pressure to perform in front of such audience.
The program was started off with Bharavi varna, Veeriboni in atta taala - a good one to prove Nishanth's maturity. He sang his favorite raaga, Shubhapantuvarali. The song was 'paripahimaam'. The main kriti was 'parama paavana raama' in Poorvikalyani. I thought it was tough to sing both these raagas in the same concert.
Journey has just begun for this young boy in the field of music. I am sure he got encouraged by the appreciation he got from the crowd. When he was singing, he enjoyed the pace and rhythm so much that I felt he would stop singing (just as we say, if someone is too happy, words don't come by). For a 12-year old, it is hard to realise that he performed in a concert for more than 2 hours. I liked his confidence level and pitch.
Well done Nishanth!
