Awesome Kutcheri with T N Seshagopalan, Vittal Ramamurthi, Thanjavur Murugaboopathi, Shree Sundar Kumar



Recently I attended a kutcheri by T.N.Seshagopalan. Just thought of sharing
the experience here.

While boarding the bus at Amman koil, I saw a ad saying there are music concerts
happening in Meenakshi College of Engineering conducted by Sri Rama Bhaktha Jana Samaj.

After couple of days, one evening I thought of attending the kutcheri.

Tried google and landed in http://kutcheris.com/home.php. Able to find Meenakshi College
of Engineering. Came to know there is a kutcheri happening that day with T.N.Seshagopalan.

Went to the college campus around 6.30. Got the ticket and seated myself.

Slowly the accompanying musicians Vittal Ramamurthi (Violin),  Thanjavur Murugaboopathi
(Mridangam), Shree Sundar Kumar (Kanjira) came.

Finally T.N.Seshagopalan came and distributed prizes for the kids music competition.

The kutcheri started around 7pm and it went on till 10pm. Even though I was feeling
hungry, somehow I couldn't get out of the seat and go. All of them are simply awesome.
They just glued me to the chair.

T.N.Seshagopalan gave space for all the musicians, infact he just challenged the
accompanying musicians to give their best.

They performed as a team, as well as individual talents also came up very well.

There was a girl sitting behind TN, at times she was also singing.
Able to match up to the speed.

One thing I noticed is, during these 3 hrs, there were many people coming in and
going out. It really didn't bother TN or his associates. They were simple engrossed
in their divine music. This is a take home lesson for me.

I couldn't take a photo, since I didn't have a camera that day. Here are some
pictures captured from google images.
