Madras High Court Judge Justice Anitha Sumanth on Saturday appreciated the 60 years of quiet and robust integration of art and culture by Sri Sathguru Sangeetha Samajam in Madurai.
Speaking at M.S. Subbulakshmi Music Festival - 2023 organised by the Samajam, the judge said the late MS (fondly known as MS Amma) herself was a recipient of Madhura Kalapraveena (an annual award instituted by the Samajam), which reflected the yeomen services rendered by this institution for Carnatic music for many decades.
She suggested that the Samajam spread the nuances of Carnatic music to more people so that they would be aware of such musicians. She recalled how Sama Veda, the seat of melody and rhythm, was deemed to be the foundation for Carnatic music. “We are connected and interconnected through music all over the world,” she added.

In his acceptance speech, Gurucharan said for every musician awards and recognition were a big motivation in their career.
