Rocky Mountain Thyagaraja Utsavam 2010

Namaskarams to you all. The Utsavam Committee has the scheduled this year’s ‘ROCKY MOUNTAIN THYAGARAJA UTSAVAM’ - RMTU 2010 , on the 8th of May , Saturday at the Kirk Hall in Douglas County Fairgrounds from 8:30 - 500pm. Like last year we will be charging a nominal fee to cover expenses.

We will start at 8:30 am with the pancharathnams. We request all pancharathnam participants to be on time. A delay in schedule will affect everybody.

To give many performers the opportunity, we are requesting that the teachers try to group as many as they can in a group. Some of the teachers have already communicated about their groups. We are very appreciative of that. We will be informing each of the teachers about the slots available to them and the duration. Please plan your day accordingly. This time around we will be picking the time slots in a lottery system. We will also be informing you ahead of time about your performance time and slot.

The teachers, we know , have enormous talent but just so that there are opportunities for the general community, we request that you keep your performance at 5 or under 5 minutes.

We also request the teachers to inform me about their performance as soon as they can.

We also request the general community to perform in small groups as far as possible because we do have more people, than slots, who have shown interest in performing.

The Utsavam committee is a very talented , and committed group and is working tirelessly to make a grand success. With divine blessings, we look forward to having a very elite and exquisite celebration that truly honors our divine composer , Shri Thyagaraja.

Hari Om & Namaskarams
