Concerts

Besides examinations, TIKM’s main objective is to provide concert venues for both seasoned professionals and elementary students of Carnatic music. To this effect, they frequently hold general music recitals in addition to themed programs (such as the Papanasam Sivan festivals) where students of all skill levels perform.

Recently, TIKM has also begun organizing music seminars where visiting music academics can deliver lectures and workshops. In the summer of 2005, Gayatri Sankaran conducted a seminar on the “History of Tamil Music”. Increasing student participation in these seminars is one of the major goals of TIKM.

 
 

Todays Highlights

The Story of Bharatanatyam - By Kumar Punithavel
Like every other Tamil art and craft Bharatanatyam too has its own mythology. One such story goes as follows. Once the Gods and Goddesses pleaded Lord Brahma to create another Veda, as the four Veda’s in existence was hard to understand by the average masses. The new Veda should be simple, so that the common man could understand it.

Activities

  • Providing opportunities for young singers, musicians and dancers to stage their programs
  • Providing opportunities for Canadians to listen to professional artists from India and Sri Lanka
  • Conducting Karnatic music and barathanattyam dance examinations for students from grades one to seven
