A concert with a difference




Yes this concert i performed was a chamber concert organized for the 75th Birthday celebration of Sri Kalyana Sundaram (in grey T-shirt) & got his blessings. It was indeed a short duration concert with P K Babu anna (disciple of Mrudhangam Maestro Sri Guruvayoor Durai).

We performed in his apartment with no PA system except a speaker for my keyboard's output. It was indeed a divine feeling and i performed songs starting with Sahana Varnam followed by Mahaganapathim in Naatai. Trying to play some krithi related to his name i picked up Kalayana Vasantham and performed nadhaloludai. Then i went on to Nagumomu and came the choice of the Birthday child (75 year old uncle) of krithis's in Anandha Bhairavi and Sri ragam . I performed Marivere and Enthro Mahanubhavulu which were followed by Thaye thripurasundari - Suddha saveri, Jagadhodharaka, Sai bhajan and Kuria onrum illai.

We summed up the concert with Ramanamam and it was indeed one of the pleasant evening and performance i have had.
