Fantastic concert with great raga selections. Saveri, Khamas, Chinthamani, Anandabhairavi, Surutti and topped off with that awesome Varali. Khamas neraval was superlative. The piece de resistance was the Bhairavi padam. Post-concert I asked her about the RTP and was told it was an on-the-spot creation, with words from RKS... that explained the little "discussion" they had after the tanam. It was also heartening to see a brigade of young artistes in attendance and they were mobbing her after the event... spotted amrita murali, ramakrishna moorty, rithvik raja, bharat sundar, vidya kalyanaraman, dharini, chandrasekara sarma and a couple of others whose names I'm unable to recall.

there was also quite a nice crowd for this wonderful musician. encouraging to see all these youngsters too. the one thing i especially enjoy in smt.sowmya's concert is her selection of classical ragas and her post thani pieces where she serves up wonderful padams and javalis. her album released on padams is a lisitener's treat.
