About
Kalai Vizha – is a flagship cultural event of Abbas Cultural for the last 29 years. When it was started, Dr.K.J.Yesudas, who is the mentor of this Kalai Vizha, had aptly suggested to have this classical cultural event towards the conclusion of the Margazhi music season and towards the beginning of the new year.
Our 30th year Annual Art festival Kalai Vizha will be at YGP Auditorium, PSBB School, T.Nagar from 1st January to Jan 16th (continuously for 16 days). Daily 2 concerts are planned one at 4.30 p.m and another at 7.00 p.m.
Tuesday, 4th Januray 4.30pm – KRISHNAM SMARAMI by disciples of Kalaimamani Padmalaksshme Suresh.
Smt. Padmalaksshme Suresh, founder-director of Padmalaya is a great exponent of the Bharatanatyam style in classical dance. She has carved a niche for herself as a performer, teacher and choreographer. As an established danseuse she has toured to Dubai, Muscat, Colombo, United states of America, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia for cultural performances and has enthralled international audiences. Padma performs as an “A” grade artiste of Doordarshan. She has performed many thematic solos and dance productions on rare themes.
She is the panel member of IRCEN (India International rural Cultural centre), New Delhi, an organisation which works for spreading art and culture throughout the nation. Padma has given lecture Demonstrations to the youth of India under the auspices of IRCEN to create awareness about our rich art and culture heritage in places like Goa, Howrah, Delhi etc. Padma’s dance blossomed under the guidance of Kalaimamani Smt.
