Memories  - Yamini 2007  

SPICMACAY @ IIM - The team that made Yamini 2007 happen!

What a magical experience it was!!!

The Dawn to Dusk Classical Festival was marked by a record turnout of more than 2000 people of which many were from outside IIMB, reinforcing Yamini’s already strong brand image.

Bombay Jayashree’s lilting melodies in the natural setting of the Open Air Theatre lifted many a spirit, her “Jagatho Dhaarana” filling the audience with inner peace. The perfect harmony between technical expertise and the “feel and mood” of the raga that she epitomized mesmerized one and all.

Purbayan Chatterjee’s recital was short and sweet - interspersed with his vocal renditions and enthusiastic audience feedback. The “gaddhas” and the open-air ambience added to the mood of relaxation and infinite time.

Rama Vaidyanathan’s scintillating performance – a cross between traditional and modern Bharatanatyam left the audience in complete awe. The “Mayura Alarippu” set the pace for the concert, which was a pure visual delight to both the art connoisseur as well as the layman. Through ‘bhava’, the quintessence of symmetry, and passion, the artist captivated the audience.

The technical brilliance of the grand finale - the Veena-violin “samwada” between Jayanthi & Kumaresh was very well appreciated. The duo played “Kaapi” raga to rejuvenate the audience as the first light of dawn approached.

The passion of the entire SPICMACAY team was very apparent from all the energy and enthusiasm with which they organized and coordinated the entire event. This reinforces the belief that we have a passionate SPICMACAY team at IIM Bangalore, which truly endeavors to bring classical music to popular culture and the youth.
