Activities

PAADUVOOM:

The sole vision of popularizing singing of Keerthanai in Carnatic music with traditional musical instruments among the present generation is  the main activities. In an attempt to keep the spirit of traditional music and to tune the music lovers to the Carnatic rhythm, the Kristava Keerthanai Peru vizha had been organised. Renowned musicians from Chennai, Madurai and Tanjore took part in the vizha, which were well attended and generally appreciated by the music lovers of Coimbatore.

Now days, different churches and Institutions groups are trained to sing in Carnatic rhythm. These groups are invited to sing in the annual vizha.

Moreover, the children of ‘B. Thangasamy Memorial Keerthanai training’(BTMKT) participated in the vizha. This year vizha was held on 2^nd October, 2017.

PAARATTUVOAM:

Annually, the kristava Keerthanai singing competition is organised for different age groups and prizes are given to the first three and the participation certificates are given to all participants.

‘Issai Charal’ is conducted here by inviting singer from outside and honour the singer.

PARAPPUUVOM:

There was great interest from children who came for the singing competition for learning Carnatic music. This encouraged the trust to start music training class under our planned programme under ‘B. Thangasamy Memorial Keerthanai training’(BTMKT) in September, 2015.

Based on further training requirements, two more classes have been started in July 2017 for children and October 2017 for adults.

This trained group goes to different churches and promote singing interest in others.

KIM trust had organised two Keerthanai vizha outside Coimbatore, one at Salem and other at Lovedale churches for singing the praise of God in traditional music.
