20 Dec 2022 - Concert - Khandala

Dr. Salil Latay - In Concert - Sukoonbhare Nagme

Sukoonbhare Nagme with Vocal Sonata enthrals the Reunion of the 1979 Batch of Mechanical Engineering of the prestigious The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, Vadodara (GJ).

The audience – vibrant, appreciative and enthusiastic about every song. The setting – at a resort atop a mountain range with picturesque beauty all around with an engineering and super human living heritage marvel, nearly 160 years old and still running strong, a few hundred metres underground – the longest tunnel of the famous Bhor Ghat also called Khandala Ghat of the Mumbai - Pune Rail Route. The Ghat secton between Karjat and Lonavala via Khandala with this venue location on the outskirts of Khandala and the famous Monkey Hill.

All thanks to the belief and support by one more of the long time pillar of my Mission of Melody – Mr. Nagesh Chavan – who organised this Reunion of his Engineering Classmates and organised my Concert as a part of this celebration. A memorable occasion and presentation indeed.

Thank You Nagesh Chavan Sir and each of the vibrant audience.





All set for a new journey with Vocal Sonata and Sukoonbhare Nagme



As always...I explain this most unique concert presentation to a vibrant audience who is completely bewildered when I inform them about the significance of the location they are seated atop with trains running crisscross a few hundred metres below - a 160 year old engineering and super human marvel!



And yet another musical flight takes off - action mode...



The flight is smooth with curious looks about - how can one single artist be multitasking - singing + playing the piano + conducting and connecting with the audience - all Live and in Real Time?...That's Vocal Sonata - The Real Solo Concert!



The audience is transported into the world of Sukoon or Serenity - the one thing...we all yearn for...The faces of all say it all!



The audience in rapt attention throughout the musical flight. That's the power of words - enhanced by this unique concert presentation format - a one of its kind in the entire world.



This journey is almost over...and my look is - Where is the next musical destination?



Appreciation and "Could I get your Card please?" Sure Sir!



More appreciation, more sharing of what this concert does to the audience and inquisitiveness about my journey with music and this unique format. I call all this - Mission of Melody and the Mission of my life - to spread Sukoon or Serenity.



The audience moves in for an impromptu group photograph with the artist. 1979 Batch of Mechanical Engineering of M S University, Vadodara at Reunion 2022. What an honour! Thanks everyone!



And the man who got me and my Mission of Melody to - one more wonderful opportunity - Mr. Nagesh Chavan. Thank You Sir. Hu Abhaari Chhu! (I am thankful. tr. Gujarati)
