4. Varadarajam Upasmahe - Saranga
5. Kamalamba Navavarnam Mangala Kriti - Sri

A typical Rudrapatnam brothers concert - solid style and patantara. Everything was delivered in a measured manner. The varali and mukhari alapanas by Smt Nalina Mohan were very weighty and delectable to hear. The tani by Sri Sanjay was redolent of Palghat Raghu Sir's bani (as Sanjay learnt from Raghu Sir earlier and now learns From Sri Manoj Siva). Sri Krishnamurthy on the ghatam provided able support.

The concert was a little over 1.5 hrs long.
