Fantastic! Beautiful song selections..
The RTP sounds tantalizing.
All the best to the duo (and the Toronto Laya experts) and kudos to their Guru(s).

[arasi]

Lakshman,
A substantial (three+hours) vINA concert and what a rich and varied list! Three of Patnam's. Two Karnataka composers...

[cmlover]

Dear CMlover,
I'm Keerthana's dad. Hope you will recall our conversations when my two daughters were giving a vocal concert at Montreal about 18 months ago. Please find attached the link to the RTP. I have taken Rohin's permission to share this in the forum.

CML,
Where was I? For a moment, I got them mixed up with Iyer Bros
Apologies to the brothers.

Thanks music-is-life for the clip. Let me listen to it. Hope it has the krutis I was very keen on listening to.

[cmlover]

Many thanks music_is_life
This is a rare delicious treat. Let me listen and comment.
Nice to see keerthana in action!
My blessings to her...

arasi:
I was only wondering why you called 'a vINAkAtha concert' as 'a vINA concert'.
Now I know

It would be grt if audio of the whole concert is posted.

[cmlover]

Thanks Rohin. Looking forward to more clips and even a whole concert...
In fact all your song selections are tantalizing..
(would also permit us to listen to more of Keerthana as well..)

[rajeshnat]

dad of keerthana ,
Thanks for sharing the link. The Jyothiswaroopini RTP is very good and keerthana's play has a lot of azhuttam :ymapplause:

Toronto Brothers,
Lovely keep it up. :ymapplause:

[cmlover]

Yes! I second it. It is a super RTP. Keerthana has done a great performance...

[CRama]

Sankar, I am yet to see the clip. But I feel delighted that Keerthana is getting all the pat from our seasoned reviewers. Good going. Hope to hear her in December in Chennai.

[music_is_life]

Rajesh, CRama, CMLover and others,
Really happy to hear the comments about Keerthana's accompaniment from the people I respect the most in terms of their musical knowledge.
CRama... Kamya and Keerthana are scheduled to perform during the season between Dec 22nd and Jan 1st. Keerthana may also have a few violin accompaniment opportunities
as she plans to stay for an additional week.

Regards,

[CRama]

Sankar, Happy to know about many programmes for Kamya and Keerthana in this season. We will enjoy the feast together. Wishing them all the best in their pursuits. CRama
