| Nine-year-old N.C. Kavya recently set to tunes songs written by noted Telugu poets. |
Nine-year-old N.C.Kavya, belonging to huge musical family of Nallanchakravarthula has also turned composer, besides being a singer already. Kavya would grow to earn her place in the ranks of music composers in due time, Mallemala, a well known poet and filmmaker predicted, presiding over a musical function organized at Thyagaraya Gana Sabha on Sunday. Kavya is the disciple of Guru Vyjarsi Bala Subrahmanyam, a carnatic musician with a good record of achievements. The event began with a program of light and light classical music, in which, songs tuned by little Kavya were rendered by Deevena, V. Bindu, V.Sasikala Swamy, N.C. Karunya, V.Hemachandra, Ravali, N.C. Shruti and Divya. Most of them are singers from the same family. Noted Telugu poets wrote the songs. Kavya displayed uncommon skill in setting the songs to tunes keeping the substance of the songs in mind. The setting was with pleasing music and lilting rhythm. All the songs she set music for were brought into an audiocassette titled Chiru Swara Kavyam. Releasing the cassette, Mallemala appreciated the composer-singer and also Ajanta Arts Academy for concentrating on songs specially written in Telugu instead of going for film songs.
