The season zing is still not evident in Chennai.
And the attendance at some evening concerts which feature senior artistes have had 100 plus people in the halls.
That too for a sabha that says its has close to 2000 members.
But sabha managers admit that NRIs will not be flying in for the season and that even rasikas from places like Kochi and Bangalore may skip it this year.
Importantly, many rasikas are still to recover from the losses that their have borne from the deluge - damaged white goods and stains left by flood waters. They may still not be in the frame of mind to attend concerts.
The season gets going always once Music Academy launches its festival. Now that this has happened, let's see how the trend is.
