Mass Cultural Council
Along with my teacher I received a grant from the state of Massachusetts to advance my leanings and play my first major concert. I spent 9 months preparing for the concert and learning various Carnatic Violin concepts along the way. I immensely enjoyed practicing and playing with my Guru. I greatly appreciate the opportunity MCC gave me.
Parish Center of the Arts
Westford Regional Art Event
Performed piano at the local art competition event at Parish Center of the Arts in a spur of the moment performance. At the event, they had no one to play piano, and at the last minute I decided to play. I was able to play an hour of memorized music as I had no sheet music with me.
Violin Duet Concert
I was given an opportunity to give two performances for the Karnatic Hindustani Music Circle. In the first one, I led a couple junior students as they played their first mini concert with kalpana swarams. I then played a longer concert with more intricacies and advanced pieces and manodharmam with my Guru. It was a great opportunity for me, especially to help prepare for the MCC concert the following year.
