Last saturday, went with Simon to a concert held at the Musuem Theater.
George Frideric Handel's Oratorio's THE MESSIAH presented by The Madras Musical Association. Simon's friend Kalyani was part of the choir. Kalyani is a playback singer introduced in Tamil with her
'Adi Kozhi' song from the movie Thendral. Kalyani has since given many performances, including one with her band
'Route 10' in Sun TV's Ooh Lalala programme. She has also done some of our Station's programme title tracks.
A few lines about George Frideric Handel; he lived in the 16th century, and one of the very famous baroque composer. His works has influenced great musicians such as Mozart and Beethoven, and his work helped in the transition from Baroque to Classical Era.
'Messiah' is one of his most famous works.
The Museum Theater is such an awesome place. I am not very much well versed with the acoustics part, but a concert there is such a feast to the eyes and ears. Concert was great, but there were certain solo singer's who did not make use of the hall to throw their voice, they remained 'unheard heros'. I did not stay through the concert, but I'm looking forward to attend another event in the Theater.
