concert is that it's
aimed at
familiarizing and
getting people
interested in this
kind of music. The
programs are
generally admission
free, and therefore,
more people will be
able to attend, and
everyone's invited."
— Pradeep Jana
president of SPIC MACAY
T he music of Southern India
will fill the MSC tonight at
7:30 pm. The Society for
Promotion of Indian Classical
Music and Culture Amongst
Youth will sponsor the concert
that will bring Smt. Lalgudi Pad-
mavathy Ananthagopalan and
Smt. Jayanthi Ravi Kiran to
Texas A&M.
Govind Rengarajan, secretary
of SPIC MACAY and a mechani
cal engineering graduate student,
said the organization works to
bring Indian artists to universi
ties and communities throughout
the United States.
The organization hosts one or
two concerts or dance programs
during the regular school year
and one during the summer.
“SPIC MACAY was founded in
India with a view to promote In
dian classical music and dance
among the younger generation,”
Rengarajan said. “The Texas
A&M chapter was founded in
1989, and since then, the chapter
has been bringing music and
dance programs featuring
renowned artists from India.”
The Arts Council of Brazos Val
ley is a non profit organization
that provides funding to organiza
tions and artists.
The organizations apply, and
they are given grants based on dif
ferent criteria.
Kass Prince, executive direc
tor of the Arts Council of Bra
zos Valley, said SPIC MACAY
was chosen a few years ago to
receive the grant.
“SPIC MACAY is non profit,
and they’re very accessible,”
Prince said. “They feature pro
fessional entertainers, and the
quality is very high. It’s cer
tainly unique in that there’s no
other opportunity to see or hear
these types of performers in the
Brazos Valley.”
At a school where the American
culture reigns supreme, the differ
ent cultural organizations intro
duce A&M to a different world.

Smt. Lalgudi Padmabvathy Ananthagopalan and Smt. Jayanthi Ravi Ki
ran are performing tonight in the MSC at 7:30 p.m.
SPIC MACAY and an electrical
engineering graduate student,
said the concerts acquaint the
Brazos Valley with a bit of India.
“The beauty of a SPIC MACAY
concert is that it’s aimed at famil
iarizing and getting people inter
ested in this kind of music,” Jana
said. “The programs are generally
admission free, and, therefore,
more people will be able to attend
and everyone’s invited.”
Jana said 70 percent of the
concert is Indian, and they
would like to see other cultures
also attend.
There are two different types
of Indian classical music: Car
natic and Hindustani. Carnatic
is from the south, and Hindus
tani originated in the north of
India.
Thursday’s concert will fea
ture Carnatic.
The concert will also feature
the veena, a stringed instru
ment. It will also feature a mri-
dangam, the most commonly
used percussion instrument in
Carnatic music.
“The veena is a lot like the
guitar,” Rengarajan said. “It
has four main strings and set-
eral other strings to maintain
the rhythm."
The two featured performers
have quite a history in the I
musical world.
“Smt. Lalgudi PadmavaHiy
Ananthagopalan has been
forming from a very young
Rengarajan said. “She istbe
younger sister of the violin mae
stro, Smt. Lalgudi Jayaramat
She has also showed her skills in
teaching and has been a profesa
of music at the India Fine!
Society, Singapore. She also has
to her credit establishing as
for Carnatic music. “
The other performer,
Jayanthi Ravi Kiran, istheniete
of Smt. Padmavathy.
“Smt. Kiran has had the
portunity of getting guidante
from Smt. Padmavathy herself as
well as her uncle, the violin
stro,” Rengarajan said. “She has
also been a part of a famous
lin-flute-vena trio. She hi
master’s in English literature
and is currently working on her
doctorate in ‘The Origin and Eve
lution of Veena.’”
