The concert was excellent. Sowmya’s voice initially showed some strains. Later it cooperated. The highlight of the concert is the RTP. She explained its significance . Today the date being 14/12/14, she has chosen Vagulabharanam which is the melakartha no 14. Khanta Ata thalam has got 14 aksharams. But the pallavi was 2 kalai, that makes it 28 aksharams. Then for 12 (in 14/12/14), Sowmya sang 6 ragamalika swarams and Kannan played another 6 ragamalika swarams.

The RTP exercise was superb- alapana, thanam, trikalam and swaras. First time, I am hearing Vagulabharanam in a live concert. Kudos to Sowmya. The pallavi was
Kaa Guhaa Muruga Shanmugaa Maalon maruga
Manam urugatha Valli Deyvanai manala
Ragamalika swarams- Sowmya-Sankarabharanam,Rasikapriya,Valaji, Behag, Hamsanandi
Kannan-Shanmugapriya,Vagadheeswari,Varamu, Madhuvanthi
I would have left out one or two ragams.

An excellent concert
