Concert Career
Narayana Iyengar's first performance was in his early twenties, and he was soon in great demand all over the country for solo performances. Even in his mid 20s, he was invited to be a Royal Artiste in Trivandrum and later in Mysore. He performed in many prestigious events like the 42nd Indian National Congress meet at Madras in 1927 (which marked the inaugural year of the Music Academy, Madras), the Classical Music Conference, Calcutta, in 1938 and the Navaratri Festivals in Trivandrum and Mysore. Narayana Iyengar was a top-ranked artiste at the All India Radio ever since its inception and was featured in many of its national programmes.

Famous quotes containing the words concert and/or career:
“Man is head, chest and stomach. Each of these animals operates, more often than not, individually. I eat, I feel, I even, although rarely, think.... This jungle crawls and teems, is hungry, roars, gets angry, devours itself, and its cacophonic concert does not even stop when you are asleep.”
—René Daumal (1908–1944)
“I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.”
—Ruth Behar (b. 1956)
