'Give the stage to instrumentalists'; violinist Kanyakumari Kanyakumari wants sabhas to schedule concerts for instrumentalists.
She said so in plain words and with a smile when she responded to felicitations at the Bhavan's event to award her and Neyveli Santhanagopalan on November 20 evening.

"The schedules are loaded with vocalists…sabha teams must keep a balance..else where will we all go?', she said.

And she reminded sabha heads that people like her were growing old and would not have much time to perform if they did not get the opportunity!

Many rasikas nodded.

The hardcore rasikas have found that this year, many sabhas have forgotten the veena.
