Public twice lucky
By SRIRAM VENKATKRISHNAN
There was electricity in the air as the December Music Season of 1933 approached. For the first time, there were two Music Conferences - one conducted the Music Academy and the other, by the Indian Fine Arts Society. In many ways, 1933 really marks the beginning of the Music Season as we know it with more than one Sabha holding a music festival.

By GOWRI RAMNARAYAN
Gurucharan (25), Anusha Pradeep(25), Nisha Rajagopal(26) and Subhiksha Rangarajan (18), entered Carnatic music with an obvious advantage. They belong to families of performing musicians, each representing a distinct school. But are high standards at home and great audience expectations unmixed blessings?
