MY FESTIVAL
‘Learning should never stop’



Music


MUSIC ACADEMY
Laya in a wide spectrum
Four percussion vidwans, each master of the instrument he was wielding, showed the nuances of rhythm.



MUSIC ACADEMY
Perfect diction
Vilasini handled rakti ragas with care.


MUSIC ACADEMY
Rich in melody
The high-pitched gamakas did not rob M.S. Sheela’s voice of its melody.


MUSIC ACADEMY
It was fairytale stuff
With Patri Satishkumar and Amrit nurturing laya, the violins of Kanyakumari and Embar Kannan gloriously combined as one.


NARADA GANA SABHA
Show of concert skills
Melody, in the process, took a back seat.

Repertoire of rare songs



INDIAN FINE ARTS SOCIETY
With professional grace
Nirmala Rajasekar’s profundity on the instrument was unquestionable.


SRI RAMA BHAKTA JANA SABHA
Steeped in tradition
The recital by Hyderabad Sisters was perfectly classical while that of Aditya Venkatesh was in DKJ’s style.


KARTIK FINE ARTS
Hinged on patanthara
D.B. Ashwin’s recital was in copybook fashion.


MUSIC ACADEMY
Sung with gusto
With their experience Rudrapatnam Brothers made the concert enjoyable, though they had to grapple with their vocal chords.


SRI PARTHASARATHY SWAMI SABHA
Pleasant, but not great
Sowmya was not at her best in this concert. Sikkil Gurucharan proved his mettle once again.


MUSIC ACADEMY
Weaving a web of creativity
It was a delight to the ears for the sheer combination of melody and perfection of timing in the coordination of Shashank and his three accompanists.


MUSIC ACADEMY
Voice belies her age
It was not bland at any point – such was the variety.


Dance


MUSIC ACADEMY
Sparkling show of style
There was never a dull moment in Alarmel Valli’s performance.


NARADA GANA SABHA
Fresh approach
It was remarkable to see Shobana Bhalchandra perform mandi adavus and sarukkals perfectly throughout her recital.
