Nutshell
Concerts cancelled
The keen rasikas who made it to Nehru Park to hear the recital by veteran vocalist Girija Devi and tabla maestro Kishan Maharaj organised by STAR TV in association with Spic Macay Foundation, were disappointed as the performance was cancelled due to the sad demise of former President K.R. Narayanan. Audiences felt the organisers should have made as much effort to advertise the cancellation as the concert itself, billed as Music in the Park.
Music Performances
Manjari Alegaonkar from Pune, a disciple of Pandit Babanrao Haldankar, presented Marathi Natya Sangeet this past Friday at the India International Centre. She concluded her recital with a short rendition of a classical raga.
Young pianist Utsav Lal presented a piano recital at the India Habitat Centre's amphitheatre. While trained in Western classical music, he also plays film songs, which figured in his concert.
