A six day music festival was organized in the year 2005 which was named as the ‘Tarana Varusha Utsavam’. The festival was inaugurated by Chitravina Shri N. Narasimhan and Nadopasana Shri R. Srinivasan. The inaugural concert was performed by Smt. Vijayalakshmi Subramaniam along with Smt. Lalgudi Vijayalakshmi and Tiruvarur Shri Vaidyanathan.
Since the year witnessed the sad demise of Vidushi Bharata Ratna Dr. M.S. Subbulakshmi, the festival was dedicated to her memory. The concluding concert of the festival was held on 25th January, the 101st birthday of Gotuvadyam Narayana Iyengar, on the centenary year of whose memory CFA was founded. Aptly it was performed by his grand children, the Carnatica Brothers – Shashikiran and Chitravina P Ganesh.
