Just wanted to put out the song list from memory before more of it vaporizes!
I will update with missing items once I remember. If anyone else who was at the concert does, please post!The commute with the train (typical MTA weekend delays and station closings!) and the bus was more than an hour and a half but it was totally worth it
It was a beautiful concert spanning almost three and a half hours. I think we was planning to sing a nATakurinji RTP but sang vazhi maraittirukkudE instead as an audience request.
I really enjoyed the svaras in bhairavi, especially the mA - nI phrases. The pace and the structuring of the swara exchanges made for a very invigorating rendition.
