VL Kumar (Violin)
TK Murthy (Mrudangam)
Harikrishnan (Ghatam)


Ninnu Kori – Mohana Varnam – S
Mahaganapthim – Nattai – Eka – Deekshitar – RS
Hecharika – Yadukula Kambhoji – Thyagaraja – Khanda Chapu
Ee Vasudha – Sahana – Adi – Thyagaraja – Adi (RS)
Parthasarathy – Madhyamavathi – Rupakam - ??
RTP – Varali – Adi
Tukkadas

Age has eaten into the shariram but the brain is as agile as ever. With very good accompaniment from VL Kumar, Sankara Iyer regaled the knowledgeable audience at Swamy's Hall with his subtle melodies and chid-like enthusiasm.

I must say the hall's intimacy and audio system set it apart from the rest of the crowd. Kudos to Carnatica.

Parthasarathy in Madyamavathi is a composition of Ramnad Srinivasa iyengar IIRC.

Don't remember the theme for this one and can't really think of what it could have been!

These days, that would apply to every 2 bit singer with a databank of 5 krithis!
