I am expecting that the remaining of they concert would have been just as great if not better. The alapana, kriti, neraval and Swara ( looked like they cut short a bit) were done in a pleasing manner. Having said that, the main pUrvikalyANi was presented very well.

Even the short vasanta alapana was super fast. I found most of the kritis were presented on a faster tempo. That would have impacted their overall performance. Firstly, artists seems to have been finding it difficult with no feedback speakers. Hence, this is an incomplete report and my opinion is based on what I heard, while there. I had to leave as young Vinod Shyam started his tani avartanam. A sparce crowd at this time, but filled as the concert began. Every one including the artists waited patiently, entertaining ourselves with the game of ‘machar-catch’. I was pleasantly surprised to know that they have been conducting Ramanavami programs for the last 39 years.Ĭoncert started 30 mins late, due to power unavailability. Inaugural concert of Sri Rama Seva Mandali ,Koramangala. Planning to attend this was an after thought, to squeeze in an hour or two of listening, before rushing home and pack and leave. I had a bus to catch, travelling overnight.
