CHENNAI, APRIL 3
Aimed at providing an opportunity to budding talents below the age of 15 years, the mikeless concert conducted by city-based Sundaram Finance was relaunched on Sunday, after a gap of two years.
The monthly concert organised on the first Sunday of every month at the Nageswara Rao Park in the city was held for 14 years till March 2020, but was halted due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
As many as 1,400 children participated in the concerts during the period.
Sundaram Finance Ltd former managing director T T Srinivasaraghavan, who was instrumental in the launch of the Sunday Kutcheri in the park in February 2006, said, “I am delighted to be back (today) at the Nageswara Rao Park after two long years, for the resumption of the Sunday Kutcheri in the park”.
“This platform has served as a launch pad for several budding talents over the past several years and I look forward to many more of them commencing their musical journeys…,” he said.
Sundaram Finance Managing Director Rajiv Lochan said the mikeless kutcheris (concerts) had served as a stepping stone for budding youngsters and our endeavour is to provide opportunities to children aged below 15 years to showcase their musical talent. Later, Srinivasaraghavan handed over certificates and mementoes to artistes at the end of the concerts.
