culturalCapital is my initiative to celebrate Chennai, a city that epitomises my cultural linage, the very thought replenishing ஈரம்  in my every nerve fibre, evolving me at every opportunity.

I started writing my biography some time ago through my relationships and my growing-up in five parts, Palani, Coimbator, Bagalore, Chennai and Sydney. As I worked through the manuscript, I realised, my years in every other place could be transcribed into text, but not Chennai. You have to have been there experiencing it, feeling it in your pulse in ways that your verbalising neural faculties can barely express. Keeping up with the times I decided to innovate and include a never ending celebration of Chennai to the best of my ability, in Chennai, in lieu of a chapter on Chennai in my biography. Hence the celebration culturalCapital!!

My heart explodes with possibilities and I start with an endowment to ARtery for delivering a series of nine concerts around the nine of the festivals that I celebrate in Sydney at home.

I am grateful to ARtery for helping me realise my humble expression of appreciation of one of the many defining features of Chennai, viz., live Carnatic concerts under thaureyam.com | culturalCapital.

I believe in strong institutions, and the power of  strengthening sabas is paramount to flourishing our lineage sustainably. If you share my belief, there are any number of sabas in Chennai that may benefit from endowments. If you have an interest, write to me and I can point you to people in Chennai who may be able to help you.

You can browse the details of the nine concerts that constitute the sereis below. You can also follow the link to recordings made available via youtube by ARtery of the live concerts by clicking the button with a link icon below each event poster, where available.

affectionately,

Sumathy
