An evening of soulful entertainment at JACC
Music aficionados witnessed a mesmirising evening of soulful entertainment at the Jaber Al Ahmad Cutural Centre (JACC) with the sublime performance of one of India’s greatest violinist Dr L Subramaniam on Monday Nov 18.
Performing to a packed hall the musical maestro gave audiences a glimpse of his genius with some soul rendering music that was beyond doubt the highlight of the evening.
The evening began with the Chairman of Indian Business and Professional Council (IBPC) Kaizer Shaker, the organisers of the event welcoming and thanking the guests for their presence. He also thanked all the members of the committee for making the event possible.
In his address to the guests, Ambassador of India, H E Adarsh Swaika praised Dr L Subramanian’s music prowess calling him India’s greatest violinist. He thanked the organisers for the opportunity to hear the music genius and his troupe.
A packed hall, comprising of diplomats, Kuwaitis, foreigners and members of the Indian diaspora were then taken on a musical sojourn. Dr Subramanium slipped easily from one note to another, even venturing into semitones unfamiliar to many ears.
Accompanied on the violin by his son Ambi Subramanium, the father son duo weaved magic with their violins frequently drawing applause for the raags (modal Scale melody) they played.
The accompanied performers Tanmoy Bose on the Tabla and Ramana Murthy on the mridangam drum ably assisted the performance with some torrents of sound while N Radhakrishnan on the Ghatem and G Satya Rai on the Morsing provided a perfect counter balance to the rhythms.
