Nisha Rajagopal - Vocal
Padma Shankar - Violin
B Sivaraman - Mridangam
Chandrasekara Sarma - Ghatam

valachi (Varnam) - Navaragamalika - Adi - PSI
bAgayyanayyA - candrajyOti - dEsAdi - T
nAda sudA rasambilanu - Arabhi - rUpakam - T (RS)
dEvi brOva samayamidE - cintAmani - Adi - SS
nambikkettavar - hindOlam - Adi - PS
bhajarE rE cittA - kalyAni - m cApu - MD (RNS@dEvi sakthi bIjodhbava)
kai vidamAttAn kanaga sabEsan - valaji - Adi - Periyasamy Thooran
RTP (palimsukA nadachi vachithivO sri ramachandra nannu) - kAnadA - 2 kaLai kanda triputa (believe it was sundu viral eduppu) (RNST)
bAro krishnayyA - mAnd - Adi - kanakadAsar
thillAna (thanu theem thadheem, mAnaiththEdi vandha) - misra sivaranjani - Adi - LGJ

She has a very good and sweet voice but not cloyingly sweet and pronunciation is good, even in neraval of the kalyAni the words were very clear. This is 3rd/4th concert that I have attended where PS was accompanying on violin and all the ones have been puccA pakkavadhyam. Percussion support was good to excellent IMO. Only downside is the very short RTP (just 30 mins overall). Would have loved to have a more elaborate kAnadA alapanai. Good audience turnout - > 50% filled in the hall.

IMO, it was a good concert to sign off 2011 with. Hopefully will start 2012 with Vijay Siva in Nanganallur.

Pretty good concert. i like her voice very much. pronounciation's perfect in Dikshitar kritis... I liked her 'Tamil Fillers' so to say. they kept the tempo on. nice list of songs...
