Spotlight on dance at the Cleveland Thyagaraja Festival
Strong winds and intermittent rain greeted the thousands of attendees of the Cleveland Thyagaraja Festival celebrated at the Cleveland State University between April 21 and May 1, 2011. This being the centenary year of dance legend Vazhuvoor B. Ramaiah Pillai, the festival was dedicated to his memory. The schedule included several dance programmes, thematic and otherwise, in addition to some interesting feature presentations apart from the regular roster of music performances.
The Easter weekend commenced on Saturday with the group rendition of Saint Thyagaraja's pancharatnams led by leading musicians from India and North America. Later that evening, the festival was presided over by president of The Music Academy, Madras, N. Murali, who lauded the tireless efforts of the Aradhana Committe members V.V. Sundaram, Cleveland Balu and Toronto Venkatraman for organising and hosting what is "easily one of the biggest Indian music and dance festival outside India". Mr. Murali also presented the awards to this year's recipients - N. Ravikiran: Sangeetha Rathnakara, Kamala: Nrithya Rathnakara, J. Venkataraman: Sangeetha Kala Sagaram, Savithri Jagannatha Rao: Nrithya Kala Sagaram, Jayalakshmi Santhanam: Acharya Rathnakara, T.R. Balamani: Acharya Rathnakara, T.R. Balamani: Acharya Rathnakara, Sangeeta Isvaran: Kala Rathna, K.S. Sudhakar (Swathi Soft Solutions): Seva Rathna, Nalini Mukhopadhyay (Houston): Kala Seva Mani, Padmini Krishnamurthy (Muscat): Nrithya Seva Mani, Rajarajeshwary Bhat (Houston): Best Teacher Award.
Feature presentations
The festival this year grew even larger than before, in that, an unprecedented 70-programme schedule boasting of close to 110 artistes from India, North America and Muscat was drawn up. Apart from the concerts that are a regular feature here, the Committee decided to do a few things with a twist.
'Sustaining Sampradaya', a concept that showcases American-born Indian children in thematic musical presentations, was projected in an original manner. Young children, trained by musicians in India for more than six months at live lessons as well as those over the internet, sang for professional dancers in a programme entitled 'The Music of Dance'. Artistes including the legend Kamala, her sister, Rhadha, Narthaki Nataraj, Jayanthi Subramaniam, Sangeeta Isvaran and Anjana Anand, among others, danced to well-coordinated renditions of kritis, padams and javalis. The second stream of the 'Sustaining Sampradya' presented 'Gems from Karnataka' that highlighted composers from Mysore. This was tied to a featured concert by R.K. Srikanthan which dealt exclusively with Mysore composers.

Lyrics: The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst Out at you from their hiding place Like acid and oil on a madman’s face His reasons tend to fly away Like lesser birds on the four winds, yeah Like silver scrapes in May Now the sands become a crust And most of you have gone away, then you’re gone away Ah, come Susie dear, let’s take a walk Just out there upon the beach I know you’ll soon be married And you want to know where winds come from Well, it’s never said at all On the map that Carrie reads Behind the clock back there you know At the four winds bar, mm, yeah Four winds at the four winds bar Two doors locked and windows barred One door left to take you in The other one just mirrors it Ooh, in hellish glare and inference The other one’s a duplicate The queenly flux, eternal light Or the light that never warms Yes, the light that never, never warms Yes, the light that never, never warms Never warms, never warms The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst Out at you from their hiding place Miss Carrie nurse and Susie dear Would find themselves at four winds bar It’s the nexus of the crisis And the origin of storms Just the place to hopelessly Encounter time and then came me Call me Desdenova, eternal light These gravely digs of mine Will surely prove a sight And don’t forget my dog, fixed and consequent Astronomy – a star – Originally performed by Blue Oyster Cult
