The Sound of Music

sa-re-ga-ma-pa-dha-ni-Sa

Taken on my 24th birthday on the 32nd floor of Regent's Park ("next door")... This was the original Sapthak in the University of Chicago. (Replace Jayadev by Alpen, rather! As in the next picture.)

Do Ti La So Fa Mi Re Do

Three years of melodies and memories. Of attending concerts and giving them. Of practice, movie songs, a potluck, movies, and friends for life!


(11 May 2004, in Fulton Hall, U. of C.)

The venues changed:

Re Fa Fa, La Ti Ti

The styles changed:

Classical and Filmi

Carnatic and Hindustani

The people changed - here's most of the new Sapthak, for my last two years in Chicago:

But the music will always be as beautiful as ever.

When you know the notes to sing,
You can sing 'most anything!
