It was a melodious, pleasing and a well planned concert. The sisters set the tempo of the concert by a pleasing varna.
Ganapathiye , a composition of Papanasan sivan was very pleasing to hear. After a rare gangeyabhushani, Haripriya rendered varali , which took a good time, and each phrase of the melody was decorated with nuances of high order . Karunajoodavamma was sung with utmost devotion..
Shanmukhapriya's rendition of NAgasvaravali was noteworthy with many creative , imaginative sections. A brisk sri shankara guruvaram followed and was well appreciated by the audience.The raagamalika kriti was a treat..
The main kriti of the concert was a composition of Dikshitir in mohana - KAdambari Priyayai which is not heard so often.
Post tani compositions was well received by the audience.
