AIR Live Concert
This morning I sang a live concert of 1 hour for All India Radio (AIR), Bangalore.
The concert was relayed on their immensely popular FM 100.1 (Amrithavarshini) station from 8:30 am to 9:30 am.
Over the years, I have finally managed to time my AIR concerts!!!
In the past, I would invariably run out of time for the obligatory Purandaradasa keerthana - but today, I just managed to sneak it in!!! Photo finish!!!
The main piece was Nadopasana in Begada - trying to sing this kriti more often to get a hang of Begada which incidentally can be quite a tough nut to crack!!!
The concert went off pretty smoothly - the mridangist Adamya played very supportively. Feels good to see someone working on their art - have seen him play for quite sometime now and have seen the steady improvement - all thanks to his good work and ofcourse his guru (Sri Umayalapuram Sivaraman).
On the violin was the ever reliable CNC (Sri CN Chandrashekhar) who brings in a wealth of experience which helps in lifting the concert.

it was a nice concert... begada aalapana was really good... i never knew that you are from karnataka( your clear pronunciation of purandara kriti made me to think..) and a deciple T M Krishna (though i sensed some influence of tmk)..
good going... all the best
