yes, but Suhasini is a die hard fan of Raaja sir and she openly mentioned in many programs. Suhasini is also Kamal hasan (brothers) daughter, so the bond is good. From what I heard this AM, she has some issue reaching US and authorities are sorting out. No idea what issue one can have. I hope they dont bring someone like Parthiban again. If there is no one to do MC, its even better. Raja sir and us. Thats it.

Instead of having the MC, he could use that time to demonstrate how a song is practiced and played for a recording (with the conductor conducting with manual beats). That will be a real treat to watch !

He made me sooooo comfortable yesterday, so I asked him if he could do a piece from HTNI/NBW/I24Hrs/TIS and he said he dont have notes for that and is too late to prepare.
I also referred how Maestro changes tune for songs (e.g. Maanguyilae in various tune and most recently in Toronto in the same tune as Rathiriyil Poothirukkum) and asked if such things are prepared for the show. He mentioned that none of this is prepared. When MC pull people randomly to stage, they normally fallback on maestro and throw something at him. Thats how most of the shows are. In Chennai, someone pulled Yuvan in front of Maestro and since Yuvan was silent, he asked how he would compose like Yuvan. Same in Toronto as well.

njv ,
Could you possibly ask him to compose something specially for the event say a single song but involving various time signatures or maybe a song composed with just 2 notes or something like that ??
Also if possible please check about his website and whether all his songs and BGMs will come out for Official Download ..

இந்த மூணு சுரத்துல, ரெண்டே சுரத்துல, ஒரே ஒரு சுரத்துல.. - இதற்கெல்லாம் ராஜா பிரகாஷ்ராஜ் நடத்தி வைத்த கச்சேரியிலேயெ பதில் தந்துவிட்டார். இதிலேயே ஜல்லி அடிக்க வேண்டாம் என்பதே ராஜாவின் எண்ணமாக எடுத்துகொண்டு ரசிகர்களாகிய நாமும் கடந்து செல்லணும்.
ராஜாவின் கச்சேரி என வரும்போது, நாம் பெரிதும் எதிர்பாக்க வேண்டியது.. தேர்ந்த நிகழ்ச்சி நடத்துனர், சரியான ஒலி அமைப்பு.
கேளடி கண்மணி, பூங்காற்று புதிதானது, யார் தூரிகை தந்த ஓவியம் இந்த மூன்றையும் அழகாக நெய்து ஒரு கதம்பம் தந்தாரே.. அதுபோல ஒரு சில பிரத்யேக அம்சங்கள் இருந்தாலே போதும்..
நிகழ்ச்சி அமைப்பாளர்கள் , தலைவர்கள் பேச வேண்டியது, பாராட்ட வெண்டியது எல்லாவற்றையும் ராஜா மேடைக்கு வருவதற்கு முன்பாகவே முடித்துக் கொண்டால் ரொம்ப நல்லது.

I went to the auditorium yesterday and checked speaker setup from various parts of the auditorium and all looked fine. Sound engineer was good enough to accept my request to test with Maestro;s song itself, so I tested "raakkamma kaiyathattu", "raajathi raajanengal raaja" and "mounamaana neram" (telugu version from youtube) and it all looked very nice. If we get the quality I heard today, our ears are blessed. Keep the fingers crossed.... I expect a lot today... can

Thats the plan venkkiram. There are no தலைவர்கள் today, but will take few minutes to thank the sponsors, particularly the ones who gave their heart, soul, days, night and family time (like all Tamil Sangams from NJ, DE, NY, PA, CT etc). Venki - btw, the other venki that I got confused with, you will see him today before raaja star occupies the stage. I finally got his number and mentioned about our conversation as well. I am not sure if I can meet you today, but message me once you are in the auditorium and I will try my best to say hello atleast.

I have posted some videos that I have taken while testing the auditorium. Pardon the video shakeup. Its new camera (bought 2 days back, just for this concert!) and not yet used to it.
