It was a nice concert. Began with a very invocative slOkam. The kritis were all very beautifully rendered. The manOdarmam was good as well. The accompanists were on par with the vocalist and made the concert all the more interesting. However, I couldn't stay till the end.
My pick of the concert was the extraordinary AlApanai of srI rAgam by Smt Gayathri and the stunning rendition of the kriti which followed.

"பால்நினைத் தூட்டுந் தாயினும் சாலப்sureshvv
post main she sang a viruttam (chikkena pidithen... thiruvasagam i think) and another rare song starting with thEn... in shanmugapriya
பரிந்துநீ பாவியே னுடைய
ஊனினை உருக்கி உள்ளொளி பெருக்கி
உலப்பிலா ஆனந்த மாய
தேனினைச் சொரிந்து புறம்புறத் திரிந்த
செல்வமே சிவபெரு மானே
யானுனைத் தொடர்ந்து சிக்கெனப் பிடித்தேன்
எங்கெழுந் தருளுவ தினியே."

[ Your love for me is far, far superior to a mother`s
Who automatically thinks and suckles her babe.
You melted my flesh – the sinner`s;
You augmented My inner light;
You poured into my being The insatiable honey of bliss.
You roamed With me whenever I circummigrated.
O Opulence !
O God Siva !
I followed You,
Caught You and hold You in firm grip.
How can You move away at all from me?
Translation: T. N. Ramachandran,Thanjaavoor ,1995]

the song is a composition of vaLLalAr i think.....
"தேனென இனிக்குந் திருவருட்கடலே!
தெள்ளிய அமுதமே! சிவமே! "
thEnena inikkum thiruvarut kadalE!
theLLiya amudhamE! sivamE!
( i still remember her renidtion of the same in a concert for kapali fine arts, during december season - 2002. poorna vaidhyanathan, myself and ravi balasubramaniam accompanied her. she also rendered a moving "IsanE indha Ezhaikkiranga innum thAmasamA" too)

rajaglan I think this concert was in Chennai! For Mumbai concerts there is a thread in the Festivals and Events section. FYI, our own Prashant is performing at Shanmukha on the 7th, TNS on the 15th. Vishakha's harikatha is on the 13th/14th and Priyadarshini Govind's dance recital is on the 15th (not sure of the venue).
Of course there are plenty of Hindustani programs as well.
