A guru focuses on creating not only a good shishya but a joyful lovely human being. .This was obvious at Mulam, a National Seminar and Dance Festival held at Mysore on 30th and 31 July. Each one of them coming out with their best. It was pleasant to watch the Guru Shishya duo, dancing together sharing a beautiful bond , I am sure the pictures will speak for themselves.The only festival where the shishy gets to share the stage with the Guru in a duet. Organizing this event has given meet so much satisfaction, I feel inspired and energized to do more .

Sri Ravikiran left the audience spellbound after an enchanting, enthralling and exhilarating evening of music on the Chitravina. Shri Ravi is a genius in the true sense, possessing the rare ability to leave the rasika with a feeling of completeness, and his spectacular concert at Unnati yesterday delivered just that. He commenced the evening with a beautiful rendition of the Natakurunji Pada varanam "Chalamela". The artist's brilliance shone from the outset, as he delved effortlessly into the subtle nuances of the ragam. Be it Shyama Shastri's grand masterpiece "Marivere Gati" in anandabhairavi, or Oothukadu Venkatakavi's magnificent composition in Karaharapriya, Shri Ravi brought out the essence of both the songs and ragams in a delightful fashion. His kalpanaswara patterns in Anandabhairavi, Latangi and Karaharapiya were awe-inspiring and highlighted his innate creativity. The evening concluded with a charming thillana in Reetigoulai composed by himself.
The percussion support was none other than the legendary Shrimushnam Shri Raja Rao on the mridangam. A wonderful singer himself, Shri Raja Rao's incredible knowledge of the compositions elevated the concert to another level. Smt Akkarrai Subbulakshmi provided mellifluous support on the violin and the senstivity she exhibited was commendable. Able support was also provided by Shri SN Narayanamurthy on the ghatam and Shri Ravi's student Vishal Sapooram on the chitravina. Despite multiple power cuts pin drop silence was maintained by the audience, who remained transfixed throughout.

Dear friend!
Yet another gem from the illustrious Sikkil family, Sri. Sikkil Gurucharan is undoubtedly an undisputed musician par excellence. He is one of the torch bearers of carnatic music from this generation. Whether it is the rich patantharam or his style of presentation, all bear the mark of deep classicism. The detailed sketch of the Kedaragaula Alapana kept the audience swaying to the combination of melodious phrases clubbed with brisk brikas. The kriti Abhayambikaya is rarely featured in concerts and it was a delight to hear this Dikshithar kriti. After a brisk rendering of Kamalacharane a composition of GNB in the raga Amritha Behag Gurucharan painted the Raga Sahana in colourful hues bringing out the melody of this beautiful Raga. The masterpiece Giripai was presented in all its grandeur. The RTP in Raga Desh came as a request from the audience on account of being Independence Day. Sikkil Gurucharan brought out an extempore RTP par excellence.
The violinist for the day Sri Sanjeev proved himself a worthy disciple of Smt. Kanyakumari and played exceedingly well in his parts. Sri Arjun Kumar embellished the entire concert with his energetic playing and supported the artists with great anticipation. Guru Prasanna on the Kanjira ably supported and made his presence felt with some crisp following.

Smt. Nithyasree is one amazing musician who through her vast repertoire and chaste music that runs in her blood, is able to give us a concert that can only be described in one word-Sensational!

Dear friend!
Smt. Vishaka Hari just stole the show and the hearts of all present with her electrifying presence, flawless eloquence and unabated flow of chaste carnatic music. She has the gift of the gab and is able to kindle the bhakti bhava in everyone. At times she is like a child, bubbling with energy and dramatising the entire story for us to get a vivid picture of what would have happened and then follows it up with the essence of the underlying message that the Lord gives through the happenings--thus bringing out all the nuances of the live of the great Bhaktha Narayana Theerthar, beautifully eliciting them with songs that were composed on all those occasions. Yesterday’s topic was 'Sree Krishna Bhaktha Vaibhavam' and the Bhaktha whose story was taken up was Narayana Theerthar. Smt. Vishaka Hari was accompanied on the violin by Smt. Charulatha Ramanujam, who played very well and gave good support. Sri. Arjun Ganesh on the mridangam and Smt. Sukanya Ramgopal on the Ghatam gave excellent percussion support, lifting the Harikathai throughout.

Smt. Mala Chandrashekar carries on her able shoulders the mantle of chaste carnatic music that the Sikkil family is so well known. She was magical on the flute, knowing her craft so well and blew the audience away with her flawless rendition. For yesterday's concert she had chosen Krishna as the theme and all compositions were dedicated to the Lord in a thematic presentation. It was delightful to watch Smt. Mala handle the flute with such ease and smoothness. The main raga was Thodi and the grand piece was Sri Krishnam Bhaja manasa.

Dear friend!
When Sri. OS Arun performs at the Unnati Centre, the atmosphere is rife with expectation of a divine experience. The audience come there not just to hear music, but to participate in the journey that Sri. OS Arun so beautifully takes them always. What one got in yesterday's concert was an experience difficult to describe in words. Music that starts as an experience for the artiste and becomes an experiential experience for the rasika, when sounds become waves and transport one to a divine realm-in complete oneness with the divine -- This is how yesterday's concert can be described.
Sri. Arun's "Hold No Bars",
full throttle singing, exploring the lower and higher octaves of the ragas with
absolute ease in his rich and unique voice, is pure pleasure for the listener.
In his own words, he was not there to prove his mettle as a musician, he was
just there to pass on his experience with the ragas and help the audience to
experience the raga and what it was trying to convey along with the beautiful
lyrics. It was a pleasure watching the entire hall come to life and take active
part. Among all the beautiful pieces that were sung to perfection, we had an
outstanding and different exposition of the raga Vasantha. The amazing team of
Sri. Raghavendra Rao on the violin, Poongulam Sri. Subramaniam on the
mridangam, Sri. Sumit Naik on the tabla, Sri. Krishnan on the harmonium
and Sri. Freddy on the talam were not only inspired but also participated and
raised the concert to greater heights. Sri. Arun has set the tone for the Lord's
birth on Gokulashtami night (25th).

Dear friend !
Padma Bhushan, Sangeetha kalanidhi Smt. Sudha Raghunathan reigns supreme. The magical spell that Smt. Sudha Raghunathan casts year after year, time and again on the audience is no wonder. To be at the helm and maintain the consistency throughout calls for much more than calibre and that is where the greatness of Smt. Sudha lies. Her immense persona shines though brightly. She is undoubtedly the most fit to be the ambassador of our rich heritage of carnatic music. It is a great honour to all of us as she is invited to perform in the United Nations on the 2nd of Oct.
The highlight of yesterday's concert was the fantastic RTP in Shanmukahpriya with intricate swara patterns sung with much gusto and bhava. Ragamalika followed the pallavi ‘Kanna Manivanna’. Sri.

Dear friend!
Divine, Sublime and Soul stirring music encapsulates what Pandit Sri Venkatesh Kumar's music is all about. He is a highly respected and sought after Hindushtani Musician from Dharwad. Music that emanates from the heart is pure and touches the listeners in a profound manner. This was the experience after listening to the awe inspiring music from Sri Venkatesh Kumar. He is blessed with one of the most resonant and rich voices in the country today, with amazing depth and range. He commenced his concert with Raga Multani handled in great detail. The other two Ragas that were the hallmark of the concert were Yaman and Shankara, both of which were delineated with utmost ease and melody. The Tans for each of these Ragas were exquisite. He presented devotional songs in Bhupali, Durga, Khamaj which kept the audience in a trance. On the Harmonium Sri Ravindra Katoti accompanied with grace and finesse. On the Tabla was Udayaraj Karpur providing ample support to the musician. A memorable concert indeed.

Sri Sandeep Narayan performs with a sense of abandon and energy that is infectious. His flamboyant and energetic style of singing livens the ambience. Listening to this young talented musician, one can easily notice the extent to which he idolises his Guru Sri Sanjay Subramaniam. His music bears the stamp of his Guru which can be seen in the voice throw and the intricate brikas. Yesterday Sandeep chose two Rakthi Ragas Bhairavi and Kedaragaula and did complete justice to them delineating a detailed Alapana followed by Niraval and exquisite svara patterns. His Behag RTP was thoroughly enjoyable.
The violinist Sri Mysore Srikanth was
the perfect accompanist complementing the energy levels of Sandeep. His Raga
sketches were excellent. Sri J. Vaidhyanathan on the Mridangam added vigour to
the entire concert. He is an artist with great experience and this reflected in

It is no wonder that Sri. Ramakrishnan Murthy is one of the most sought after young musicians today. His music can easily be termed as inspirational and totally rooted in tradition. When one is seated in his concert there is not a dull moment and pure melodious music is what you get. He started the concert with Nada Tanumanisham in Chittaranjani and followed it up with beautiful svara patterns. One of the highlights of the concert was a neat presentation of Raga Malavi and outstanding svara patterns ending in different notes. Kalyani and Saveri were the other two main items with detailed Raga Alapanas handled with great finesse and ease. The RTP in Bilahari was crisp and bright.
Sri L. Ramakrishnan on the violin proved himself to be an accompanist on par with the main artist. His alapanas and Niraval and Svara repartees were brilliant. Sri Manoj Siva on the mridangam and Smt. Sukanya Ramgopal on the ghatam are veteran percussionists whose playing enhances the concert and elevates it to great heights.

friend,
When Sri. Saketharaman began the concert with the beautiful Begada varnam, it
was already poised to be an excellent concert, and so it was. Armed with a
solid patantharam and a picture of confidence and poise, Sri Saketh as always
scored a 100. His growth as a musician has been phenomenal and he is one who
doesn't take his music lightly and it shows. The dwi raga pallavi in varamu and
Saveri was out of this world and executed to perfection. The command and
expertise Sri. Saketh exhibits on stage stand testimony to his rise as a noted
carnatic musician, whether it was the padam Ivan Yaaro in Keeravani or Venugana
Ramana in Thodi, all bore the stamp of classicism and maturity. Mannargudi Sri. Easwaran, the great mridangam maestro
surely knows how to add impetus to any concert that he plays for. He was simply
brilliant.
Sri. H N Bhaskar on the violin provided excellent support throughout, not failing to draw the attention of the audience towards his own calibre as an outstanding violinist. Sri. Sunad Anoor was in his elements in the presence of Sri. Easwaran and gave excellent upa pakkavadhyam support. It was yet another superb concert.

Dear friend,
The great violin maestro late Lalgudi Sri Jayaraman left behind two of his very own gems for the propagation of music - Lalgudi Sri GJR Krishnan and Lalgudi Smt Vijayalakshmi. They are two complete musicians whose music is so seeped in tradition and melody that it always touches the core of each Rasika in such a special manner literally playing on their heart strings. The smooth bowing style, absolute ease and perfect understanding of both artistes was as if it was not two individuals but one person and one thought flow. Virtuosity and versatility combined with utmost humility is what one gets from the Lalgudi duo - a class apart truly! Gliding from one raga to another, they gifted the audience with a delightful bouquet of chased Carnatic music. On the percussion were Tumkur Sri Ravishankar on the mridangam and Sri Giridhar Udupa on the Ghatam, both lifting the concert to greater heights.

The second day of Utsav 2016 came alive this evening with the captivating performance by Priya Sisters. Dressed in beautiful yellow and royal blue kanjeevarams, they were all set to woo the audience after taking centre stage. As always, they sang with total involvement and dedication. Arabi,Bhairavi, Malayamarutham and Kalyani all flowed incessantly and effortlessly one after the other. The tempo was maintained throughout the concert and rose to a crescendo with the pallavi in Ganamurthe, wherein they paid rich tributes to their revered guru Sri. TRS. The taanam and ragamalika in RTP had the audience in raptures. Sri. M A Krishnaswamy filled in all the gaps beautifully on his violin also constantly playing in the background in his own inimitable style. Patri Sri. Satish Kumar gave brilliant accompaniment on his mridangam, embellishing each nuance beautifully as well as lifting the concert at all times. Sri.
