Serenading the audience

Wielding the bow against taut strings to produce lilting music to the accompaniment of the mridangam and ghatam, Vittal Ramamurthy kickstarted the violin concert, here on Sunday. He was seated alongside Smt. Padma Shanker who paired with him playing the violin herself to produce a treat for music lovers.

Others on the mridangam were Sri Neyveli Narayanan, on the Ghatam was Sri. S.Karthik and playing the tanpura were Kum. Thanmayee and Kum. Chinmayee.

It was Carnatic music at its sublime stage. Perfect stage arrangements coupled with neon lights arrangements gave aesthetic appeal to the concert. Earlier, in the day Sri Vittal Ramamurthy was felicitated for his attainments in music.

Town Hall in Mangalore is well-known for its patronage to art and culture. Mangloreans weren't dissappointed this Sunday.
