An absolutely brilliant concert, with outstanding performances from all artistes. The Hindolam, Ravichandrika and Kalyani still linger in the mind. In particular, the Kalyani main and Ravichandrika, which saw some lovely exchanges between flute and violin. The creativity on display in the Ravichandrika swaras was a delight and an eye-opener of sorts, since the general expectation was that this would be a short, fast "filler" piece before the main. Sri K.V.Prasad's thani was truly memorable.

He even reminds us of his great grandfather in his looks!
Hope we can get a sample of his music.
