Through Swarajhari sangeeta sabha for which he is the founder secretary, he regularly organises monthly music concerts by inviting many talented musicians and also occasionally arranges interesting lecture-demonstration programmes. These programmes have earned much appreciation from the audience.
This week, the A.P. Bhasha Samskritika Sangham conducted one such concert by Modumudi Sudhakar at the Government Music College with much success. Sudhakar's programme was enlightening, resulting in admiration and appreciation from the large gathering of audience which included several local vidwans. Sudhakar selected the vaggeyakaras in chronological order starting with Jayadeva (adi kavi) who wrote Geeta Govindam in which he has written the famous Ashtapadis in chaste Sanskrit. After explaining briefly about Geeta Govindam, the vidwan sang an ashtapadi Nijagadhasa Yadunandane in Sindubhairavi. Likewise Sudhakar rendered one composition of each Vaggeyakara explaining its technical and lyrical beauties embedded in the compositions. He followed with other vaggeyakaras like Annamacharya ( Annita Tane Kadave ' in Bindumalini), Purandaradas ( Yare Rangana in Hindola), Kshetrayya (the Padam Aligite in Husseini), Ramadas ( Sriramula Divyanama in Saveri), Narayanateertha (the Tarangam Kalaya Yasode in Surati), Munipalle Subramanya kavi ( Namassivayate in Dhanyasi), Sadasiva Bramhendra ( Smara varam varam in Bahudari), Syama Sastri ( Himadri Suthe in Kalyani), Thyagaraju ( Endaro Mahanubhavulu in Sri ragam), Muthuswami Dikshitar ( Meenakshe Me Mudan Dehi in Poorvikalyani), Swathi Thirunal ( Mamava Sada Janani ' in Kanada), Mysore Vasudevachar ( Brochevarevarura in Khamas) and Mangalampalli Balamuralikrisha ( Thillana in Behag). Sudhakar was superbly supported by Peravali Nandakumar on violin, K. Sadgurucharan on mridangam and M. Haribabu on ghatam.
