Chamber concert of Sangeeta Kalanidhi Vidushi Dr. R. Vedavalli @ Essae Music Foundation
Yesterday I had the rare privilege to attend a chamber concert by veteran vocalist Sangita KalAnidhi Smt. R. Vedavalli. She was accompanied by Smt. Charulatha Ramanujam on the violin and Shri Anoor A. Sarma on the Mridangam. I have always been a die-hard fan of her music (do check out older blogs of mine for more details ) and didn't want to miss this opportunity. I am attaching details of the artistes by pasting the original invite from Essae Music foundation. Vocal support was provided by her senior disciples Smt Sumitra Vasudev and Smt. Sumathi. 1.) SarasiJAkshi - Varnam in Sri RAgam 2.) Sariyevvare - Shriranjani - St. Thyagaraja - Adi 3.)
