Truncated concert due to prize distribution ceremony. Concert was close to 2 hours with multi media presentation. Whatever the 2 hours itw as brilliant. She said she will try to make best use of the available time and she did. She explained the nuances of krithis,composers,kshetrams etc all along & very informative to the young audience around.

Poorvi Kalyani, Karaharapriya and Kumudakriya had only raga outline but the detailed alapana came in khAmas which was really melodic.

I was looking for a full fledged 3 hour concert kind of disappointed. Hope to listen to her soon in coming days.

Thank you for the report. Any chance of adding the information that was provided with each piece??

I think #4 should be written as kshIra sAgara SAyI/shAyi - one who reclines/sleeps on the milky ocean (to distinguish from Sai [Baba] from the milky ocean)...
#9 - composer is Sri Sethu Madhava Rao, right?
