Aishwarya commenced majestically with an Energetic Vasantha Varnam setting the mood for the concert followed by the most popular Nee Irangayenil of Papanasam Sivan.

The Main Raga Kalyani was handled delectably in a detailed manner. It was a commendable display of her indepth knowledge of the raga up to the minutest of details, her Shruthi Sudham and Swara Shudham.

The Raga improvisation and open mouth Akarams projected the inner beauty of Kalyani. With no strain Aishwarya was able to flawlessly move across the Octaves effortlessly.

The Neraval at "Brindaavanaantha Krutha Vividha Sukha Vihaara” (4 thalli) followed by outstanding and mind blowing Kalpana Swarams and sancharams cleanly shows her confidence.

Aishwarya was supported very well by Anuthama Murali.

Kishore and Sivaramkrishnan backed up with energetic playing.

The Concert being the part of #MS100 stirred the minds of Rasikas to feel the presence of M.S.Subbulakshmi through her famous Atana, Nadanamakriya and Maand.

The impeccable finale of "Narayana, Narayana" with the clear sangathis in Bhare Panduranga was scintillating.

The Energetic Kaapi moved the Evening with heart Touching words of Kalki and Soul Touching Voice of Aishwarya.

Despite being a Afternoon slot, a good number of rasikas filled the Sabha. The Audio System was perfect.

Personally, Being part of Aishwarya Concert along with her on-stage (Accompanying in Tanpura) once again was a blessed-moment Feel.

Best moment – The Kalyani Alapana – One of a kind.
