Two executives of 2 city sabhas have reacted to notes / posts / letters made in the KB coverage of the season. The edited versions are posted below -
- The Kutcheribuzz issue of Dec. 24 carried a complaint of
non-members of Krishna Gana Sabha to T. M. Krishna about being denied seats for
his free morning concerts and being restrained from occupying seats reserved
for members, I do not see what is wrong with that.
How can let our members
scramble for a seat after paying membership fees several times over the amount
that they last prevailed? Do they not have any privileges? Do they not
constitute the artistes and the sabha's main supporters?
It is quite another matter if the free kutcheri is in a
public venue where all appurtenances for a music performance are not the
responsibility of a sabha and no class of the listening public can claim any
exclusive privilege.
- R. Sivaramakrishnan, member, Sri Krishna Gana Sabha.
- This has reference to the report by R. Revathi on the
issue of closing early Sriranjani's concert.
It was not true that it was abruptly stopped. It was
because of some communication gap between the person in charge of screen and
the office bearer, who was present to give payment to the artistes.
Even on Sunday, Bharati Ramasubban sang till 3:10 pm. As
a committee member I have been deputed at the ticket counter and I have to be
there right from 3pm to issue tickets. She has unnecessarily dragged my name
and alleged that I had no answer. I am not an octopus to do everything. There
were two office-bearers who responded to the complaints on that day.
- V.Mahalingam,
Committee Member, MFAC
