Guest guest Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 A new CD called "Thiruvasakam by Ilaiyaraaja" is an unique attempt to present select verses from the Thiruvasakam in a musical form, synthesising ideas from both the Indian and Western classical traditions. The main objective of this project is to bring masterpieces from India's spiritual traditions, such as the Thiruvasakam, to the attention of the younger generation. "Thiruvasakam by Ilaiyaraaja" will be released on June 30, 2005 in a grand event to be held at the Music Academy, Chennai. The CD will be officially released in the US, at the "Tamizhar Thiruvizha" Annual Tamil Convention during the July 2-4 weekend in Dallas, Texas. It is a must for every household and a meaningful gift idea too! Maestro Ilaiyaraaja leads the high-profile team of artists and engineers involved in this project, which includes the Budapest Symphony Orchestra conducted by Laszlo Kovacs, Oscar winning lyricist Stephen Schwartz, and Richard King a five-time Grammy Award-winning sound engineer. The Thiruvasakam by Ilaiyaraaja project is coordinated by Tamil Maiyam, a registered non-profit organization in India, committed to bring out high quality productions in Tamil art, culture and literature. Tamil Maiyam was founded by Fr. Jegath Gasper who is also the principal coordinator of this project. The US activities of this project are managed by the Thiruvasakam in Symphony Foundation led by Dr. Sankar Kumar. Thiruvasakam in Symphony Foundation is a registered non-profit in the USA.
