Greetings!Dec. 08, 2013 Dec. 08, 2013 Sri Krishna Gana Sabha - Main Hall Sri Krishna Gana Sabha - Main Main Hall Hall 6.00We PMare back - with Inauguration you for December Season 2014 6.00 PM - Inauguration and happy to present this Guide Book.
What started as a small, online venture for the ‘season’ over a decade ago has grown into a full-fledged web site which is active round the year. Kutcheribuzz.com is this site. Publisher’s NOTE Kutcheri Calendar Kutcheri Calendar
This book should help you work your way through the ‘season’. It lists the leading concerts at all the key sabhas in Chennai. (One or two sabha listings may not find a place here because their managers did not respond quickly to requests for info). We have even provided details of the accompanists where space permitted.
Another section lists prominent artistes, the famous and the young and talented and lists all their concerts. Space has limited our coverage though.
We have omitted the leading lights of Carnatic music because everybody knows who they are and where they perform. A Guide Book like this one cannot be comprehensive and we hope the effort is taken in the right spirit too. Soak in the ‘season’. Enjoy the music.
We also bring out a Dance Guide for the season
All these details are also posted on www.kutcheribuzz.com.
The web site covers the ‘season’ on a daily basis - with reports, photos and videos.
