Attended the concert over my short personal/musical trip to Madras. Enjoyed it very much and pleased to see the hall reasonably full with so many concerts on tap.

Adding to Sankar's post -
Varali, Devamanohari and Khamboji had Ragam.

VS never disappoints with the variety of his repertoire, no frills traditional music and added to it, superb accompaniment of Lalgudi Viji. Am sure many would have been reminded of DKJ-LGJ duo.

Devamanohari alapane and return were something to remember. Nice to hear Maragatha mani after a long time.... Khamboji was treated grandly and the team raised the concert to a different level. Post main, VS put his stamp with Sivakamasundari, Thiruppugazh and Viruttams.
