 : This story of just 70 people attending a concert is disheartening. Last year while at India, I had planned to attend a dance recital of a renowned artist. To be sure that I got a reservation I called up the sabha to get a ticket. The staff at the sabha said " dance Kutcheri thane, ee ootiendirukkum, get the ticket at the sabha when you get to it ". So that's the story now.
: We see similar stories from US, Australia and Asia(Except India). Probably India and Singapore are a little better off. With so little impetus given to Classical Arts, is it going to be easy to get the youth/children interested? Is the already diminishing rasika base going to wither away more? Can't we do anything about this?
