A recap of a truly wonderful concert which I dont think I am equipped to review..wud rather call it a recap.

1. Varnam - Navaragamalika
2. Karunai seivai - Hamsadhwani - Papanasam Sivan
3. Evarani - Devamruthavarshini - Tyagaraja
4. Ramanatham - Kasi ramakriya - M.D
5. RTP in Thodi - Kanda jati Triputa - " Saravanabhava Guruguhane Nee Ennai Kattarul"

Ragamalika tanam in Saveri,Anandabhairavi,Behag, Kapi, Suruti ( alternating betn chitravina n violin)
6.Tarunee Nyan Endhu Cheivu - Dwijavanti - Swati Tirunal

Unfortunately due to a bad traffic jam in which the artist got stuck in and reached a little late we had to lose out on Venuganaramana of OVK in Thodi and a RTP in Suruti . Due to paucity of time we got a wonderful RTP in thodi instead.

A truly enjoyable concert.

Thanks for the recap, jananee! After last year's excellent concert at the Academy with that extraordinary Ahiri, I was wondering what was in store this year from Ravikiran.
