Not a song list or anything - some one else that attended/viewed the full concert can provide the details. Just wanted to appreciate "sootOdu soodA" an amazing khAmbOji Alapanai (anAyAsamA traverses octaves) and the kApi he dished out in the slOkam.

Yes, a superb concert indeed. Song list below from my notes. Requesting informed Rasikas to validate and correct the spellings/transliterations, etc. (and ragas too!) as needed.

Vallabha Naayakasya - Begada (s)
Gaanaamrutapaanam - JyotiswaroopiNi
Paahi Parvata Nandini - Aarabhi
Deva Devam Bhaje - HindOLam (r)
Sarasasaamadaana - KaapiNaaraayaNi (n,s)
Thiruvadi CharaNam endRu - KhaambhOji (r,n,s)
Slokam (YogiNdraaNaam mukthibaajAm...) - Kapi, Behad and ?
NaaLai endRoru NaaL varumaa - Sindu Bhairavi

Enjoyable swaras in Begada. Lovely Arabhi alapana.

Opened the Madurai Mani Iyer special KapniNArAyaNi song with the line "Parama saambhavaa...". The "lilting effect" swaying almost the entire audience in the hall. The swaras at breakneck speed reaching a crescendo. Listening pleasure indeed!

An elaborate, beautiful Kambhoji alapana. The immortal "Thiruvadi CharaNam endru" by Gopalakrishna Bharati - again began the song in the line "maRupdaiyum karuvadaiyum kuzhiyil thaLLi".

Well supported by the violinist V Raghavendra Rao and Thrissur Narendran. Suryaprakash constantly encouraging the violinist and each of them in turn appreciating one another, camaraderie and teamwork at play.

A wholesome, enjoyable concert. The organizer who spoke briefly also echoing the same.

We can watch this concert here even now. (The concert got over about an hour ago though.)

Kudos to the Parivadini team!
