Hamsanadham - the swan's song came alive!!

Jotic theater came out alive with a different music galore on 28th March, 2009. The auditorium was fully packed. A full scale of publicity campaign were embarked by TFA couple of months earlier, just to ensure there'd be no lack of information inviting them to attend.

The effort has been really paid of when, by 7.30pm a full capacity crowd had swelled Jotic auditorium. The program started on the dot - 7.30pm with Master Shankar Kandasamy's (TFA Dance Director) opening narration of what the audiences would expect to savour and then followed by his solo Bharata Natyam offering to Lord Ganesha as a prelude.

In the the first half of the show, the senior students of TFA, JB and KL performed varied dance numbers, a combination of pure classical and fused numbers ranging from odisi, Rajasthan's folk dance, Bharata Natyam, a fusion Indian classical with Spanish folk dance and contemporary ballet with classical Indian.

The second half of the show was a pulsating and entertaining performance. No doubt, it was a magnificent sitar, tabla performance by Malaysia's accomplished and internationally acclaimed sitar maestro, Samuel J. Dass and table virtuoso, Prakash Kandasamy who have strings of gold medals and other accolades between them.

Both mesmerised the audiences with some exhilarating deft finger movements on their instruments. A rare musical journey that took everyone to another mood and emotion dimension. For the first time too, many music enthusiast in JB were able to view live performance of this stature of our very own internationally acclaimed local professional performers!!

Congratulations to all TFA managements staffs, teachers, students and technical crews for bringing us a fabulous musical programme of this stature and high standard. We would want to see many of our youngsters to take up music as their career choice and at the same time providing a safe refuge to those who wanted to dedicate a better life quality, involving, indulging and being in good company as well in a positive way doing a noble service to the society as whole!!
