Kanniks Kanikeswaran
February 28 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
This will be a lecture demonstration on Muthuswami Dikshitar and his life and music. The format is interesting in that there will be a short 30 minute documentary about his life followed by rendering of some of his krithis (30-35 minutes) followed by a Q&A. The program concludes with a grand finale performance of Guruguha Mangalam, a song about Dikshitar composed by Kanniks in Raga Malika consisting of 10 ragas. Overall, the program will be about 2 – 2 1/2 hours.
