Yamini 2008 January 25, 2008

SPICMACAY-IIMB takes immense pleasure in inviting you once again to our annual tribute to Indian Classical Arts, Yamini ‘08



Have you wondered what Yamini means?

Yamini means ‘Night’, but it is not a night, as we simply know it. It is The Night that sets in every year on the evening of 25th of January. It is the night that descends on Bangalore, gently, slowly, to the mellifluous notes of music and the gentle rhythm of the artist’s feet. It is the night when the clouds above, part to reveal the star spangled banner of the dark skies. It is the night when the lush green lawns of IIM Bangalore sport their best cushions for the patrons of art. When Yamini is on, you wake up to your inner self, and dissolve in the shower of music and dance. From Malkauns to Bhairavi, from dusk to dawn, the night of revelation prevails.

Yamini is an eclectic mix Indian Classical Music and Dance performances on a single dais. Organized by IIMB since 2004, it is open to all Bangalore and has attracted a faithful audience across ages, over the years. Yamini last year attracted thousands of footfalls and was a success beyond words. This year, Yamini ‘08 is IIMB’s biggest ever offering to Bangalore’s art lovers. When people elsewhere count the stars in the night sky of 25th January 2008, you will additionally count five special ones in IIM B.

The five artists performing for Yamini ‘08 are:
1. Carnatic Vocalist S. Sowmya
2. Flute Maestro Shashank
3. Kuchipudi Dancer Uma Muralikrishna
4. Sitar Maestro Gaurav Mazumdar
5. Chitravina N. Ravikiran

We assure you, that these five stars will enthrall your senses. IIMB invites you to an evening of ecstasy.
