G Ravikiran seshadripuram bangalore

[rrnagar_assoc]

escorted my grand niece to this concert as i have heard this artist before and wanted to hear him. moreover, i anyway had the duty of picking up my grand niece from a nearby coaching center - so the timing worked for us.
if i may add - after a refreshing 'tiffin' at a nearby udipi joint, we were all set for this concert.
when we entered, he was singing swarams for sobillu.

since i have already claimed my lack of deep theoretical knowledge, i am letting my grand niece share the list with all its r,n,s intricacies

overall, the concert was soulful - yes that's the word. loved the mohanam, ketharagowlai and saveri - the tanam round got a couple of rounds of spontaneous applause from the audience too.
the pakkams gelled well - though i felt the mridangist was a tad too loud at times. not sure what the morsing artist was doing most of the times too :p but he looked happy

1) sobillu - jaganmohini - thyagaraja (s)
2) evarani - devamritavarsini - thyagaraja
3) narasimha agacha - mohanam - dikshitar (r,s)
4) devi brova samayamide - chintamani - shyama shastry
5) patti viduvaradu - manjari - thyagaraja
6) tulasi bilva - kedaragowla - thyagaraja (r,n,s) at "karunato..."
7) RTP Saveri - K.Triputa
8) sapasyat - jonpuri
9) rama rama seetha rama - tilang - purandaradasa
10) mangalam

violin: hm smita, mridangam: bc manjunath, morsing: b rajsegar.

Thanks for sharing your (and your great niece's) concert experience with us. G.Ravikiran is worth listening to--he's one of our notable young vidvAns. Who were the artistes accompanying him?

Kindly correct venue name as Seshadripuram in your title.

sorry - edited.
pardon my thamizh transliteration

- murari.

[Sachi_R]

It is "Udupi". Comes from the name of high Vedic scholars called Udupas who established themselves there.
Like Palghat brahmins, Udupi brahmins became world famous for their culinary skills too

Sorry Sachi_R. I stand corrected.
I think in thamizh and write in English

coming back to the concert, it was an enjoyable evening spent in the cool breeze and pleasant ambience of the college.
