I was told Vinay Sharva's concert yesterday was very good. I am unable to attend this series.
Anyone from our forum who attends should write a review of both concerts and the series, in general.

Re: Nadasurabhi Youth Festival 2014. 14,15 & 16th Feb.
The three day Youth Festival of Nadasurabhi, Koramangala, Bangalore was a resounding success. The festival highlighted the talents of children and youngsters in Indian Classical Music and dance.
Day 1 - 14.2.2014
Group singing by students of Vidushi Chitra Srikanth. The chosen theme was manifestations of Shiva by various composers. The children were well trained and did good justice to the compositions they sang .
The second performance was by Vidwan Vinay Sharva, a disciple of Bangalore Shankar and Sri.Nedunuri Krishnamurthy. He has a good voice which he uses to his advantage especially while singing manodharma sangeetham. He started with viribhoni varnam in bhairavi, singing in two kalams. With a brief but nuance filled alapana of Mohanakalyani he sang Muthiah Bagavathar's invocation Sindhu Vinayakam. Next was Dikshithar's Panchashathpeeta roopini in devagandharam( also known as Karnataka devagandhari, bimplas).
Next was detailed alapana of Subapanthuvarali which was melodious and brought out the entire gamut of the raga. Song chosen was Sri Sathyanarayanam of Dikshithar's. Good niraval and kalpanaswaras followed showing his mastery over the layam. A breezy koluvaiyunnade in Devagandhari composition of Thyagaraja followed. Soulful singing of Shyamasastri's Mayamma in Ahiri brought out the pleading of the composer asking the goddess asto why she is not answering to his call.
Next came the main item of the evening, detailed, melodious nuances filled alapana of karaharapriya. The composition taken up was the well known Chakkani Rajamargamu. Niraval at Kantikisundara was good with niraval swarams.
In the post main item section there were two compositions of Purandaradasa.
Jaya kothanda Rama in Pantuvarali sung in Madhya sruthi was a lesser known composition.Thamburu meeti in sindhubhairavi and Muddhugare Yashode in kuranji (Annammacharya) were familiar ones. Janakiramana in Kapi was well sung.
Smitha on violin gave a good account of her manodharma in the alapana, niraval and swarams. She has good intelligence to anticipate and respond accordingly to the main artist. Prashanth on Mridangam gave good support and proved his grasp of laya well in the Thaniavarthanam.
Vinay will do very well if he widens his repertoire and with that can be a top ranking artist.
Day 2 - 15th February 2014
First was group singing of Vidushi Sumitra Nithin's students. They had chosen to pay tributes to a gamut of Vagyeyakaras . Theirs was a compact well trained group coordinating well with each other. They were also intelligent and quick to grasp the small help the guru was providing. They sang well in unison.
The second event of the day was a brilliant concert by Madhu Kashyap, a disciple of Smt. Neela Ramgopal who had full involvement in what he sang which made the concert a memorable one.
He excels when it comes to manodharma sangeetham, be it a brief raga alapana, elaborate one, niraval and swarams.
He started with varnam in raga Vasantha, singing in two kalams( the charanam and the swaras also). Brief but complete delineation of raga Amrithavahini followed by a less heard invocation on Ganapathi by Jayachamaraja Woodayar was taken up .
Again a brief but nuance filled Yadukulakambhodhi followed with the well known Hejjariga -a composition of Thyagaraja. A beautiful delineation of Suddha Dhanyasi was taken up with good rendition Kamodham Chinthayami, a composition of Swath Tribunal. Melodious niraval and a brilliantly sung swarams. He used the concept of swara bedham, at Ga, Ma, Pa, and Ni bringing flashes of Mohanam, Madhyamavathi, Hindolam and Suddhasaveri. A fast paced Tolijanma in Bilahari and Jampa thalam of Thyagaraja paved way for the main item of the concert.
He took up Shanmukhapriya for a detailed alapana. As said earlier his total involvement brought out melodious nuances filled alapana. Ekambresanayike a composition of Dikshithar in Adi talam was sung well with good niraval and swarams which showed his mastery of layam.
Purandaradasa's composition in Misra Kamaj a Tillana in Durban Kanada followed. An interesting and lesser heard Mangalam in Suruti of Purandaradasa brought the memorable concert to an end.
Smitha again proved not only her ability to adjust to the main artists but also her own delineation of the ragas very well.S he could grasp the swarabedham concept and do justice to it.
Adamya Ramanand on Mridangam gave good exposition of his lineage and mastery through out the concert more so in the Thani Avartanam.
Day 3 - 16th February 2014.
There was an exciting dance program by students learning under renowned Bharatanatyam couple Sri.Kiran Subramaniam and Smt.Sandhya Kiran. It was a well planned, choreographed and executed programme with emphasis on bharatanatyam with one of the girls demonstrated her skill in Yakshagaana.
The second programme of the day was the Purandaradasa and Thyagaraja Aradhana celebrations with the rendering of pillari geethas and pancharatna kritis. The group of led by eminent artist Smt.Neela Ramgopal and joined by her students and other vidwans and vidushis.
