	Music College and Anantapur Programme Saturday, January 14th, 2012
	The fourth day of Annual Sports and Cultural Festival was a musical treat in Prasanthi Nilayam. Senior students from the Sri Sathya Sai Mirpuri College of Music commenced with 'Sri Ganapathi Nee Sevimpa'. They performed many Thyagaraja Pancharatna Kirtis including Jagadanandakaraka, sahasinche oh manasa, upacharamulanu chekonavayya and a Hindustani number, " Japath Prabhu Ramachandra" before concluding auspiciously with the "Jaya Mangalam, Nitya Shuba Mangalam"     The vocal concert also featured some stirring solo performances on the Veena and the Percussions. The backdrop was also befitting the occasion featuring an Idol of Lord Rama and a portrait of Thyagaraja immersed in music.     This was followed by a fusion music presentation by the Anantapur Campus of the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning. Members of the Institute Brass Band and the Panchavadyam group together with traditional instruments like Violin and Tabla presented a Jugalbandi in the Divine Presence. Starting with Stotrams like Vakratunda and Shantakaram, they went on to the genres of carnatic music with "Raghuvamsa sudha" and western with "Heal the World" before concluding with Sri Sathya Sai Bhajans.     To the final song the students worshiped Bhagawan with many traditional forms of lamps . One of the visually challenged teachers of the campus presented an autobiographical book documenting her experiences with Bhagawan while the students performed Bhajans from an Audio CD they released. Another significant feature was the exquisite backdrop that was made for the occasion in the form of a grand mandapam with many lamps.     At the end of the programme, the valedictory function of the Sports and Cultural Festival was announced for 09:00 am on the Holy Makara Sankranthi Day, tomorrow. <<Back to - Annual Sports & Cultural Meet 2012- Update-Photos-Video Sri Sathya Sai Baba Mahasamadhi Darshan
