There was a Kanjira Vidwan instead of Shri H Sivaramakrishnan (Ghatam) as was put up in the listing. Its really bad that I couldn't recognise the Kanjira Vidwan. Apologies for the same.

It was a nice and well-attended concert. The Sindhuramakriya Krithi was well sung. The Dhanyasi Alapanai was developed well. The violinist's version too was very good. Veenabheri is always an emotive piece. The Purvikalyani main was fairly elaborate. The Thani was good as well. The violinist gave wonderful support throughout with a style typical of the Lalgudi Bani. The rendition of the Dhanyasi Krithi and the Neraval therein were the picks of the concert to me.
