Richly traditional…
On the 23rd of November 2024, Sri Nadabrahma Sangeetha Sabha played host to an exceptional music concert by noted vocalist Vid. Madurai N. Sivaganesh accompanied by Vid. Keshav Mohankumar on violin, Vid. P.S. Sridhar on mridanga and Vid. V.S. Ramesh on morching.
The concert, sponsored by senior art patron Madhuri Thathachari in memory of her parents, was a testament to the vocalist’s technical brilliance and his ability to connect with the audience through his music.
The evening began with a vibrant rendition of a varnam in Abhogi ‘Evvari bodhana’ set to Aditala composed by Patnam Subramanya Iyer in which the vocalist skipped the third ettugade swara. Following this he presented Mysore Maharaja Sri Jayachamaraja Wadiyar’s ‘JAlandharam AshrayAmyaham’ in Gambhira Nata. Madhyama kAla Kalpana swaras to the tricky ‘Gambheera nAtya’ part in the charana were notable.
‘RanganAyakam bhAvaye’ by Muttuswami Deekshitar was a good presentation after which an interesting Hamsavinodini was taken for detailed rendition.
