Koramangala, one of the posh localities of Bangalore is always traffic-chocked. Amidst the crowded shopping malls and big brand stores where shoppers check out throughout the day, The Indian Heritage Academy is housed inside a quiet campus.
Sree Rama Seva Mandali, Koramangala celebrates its Ramanavami music festival at the cozy auditorium in the Academy campus. The community that supports cultural activities never fails to turn-up at these concerts.
On Saturday evening, there were about 200 rasikas when young R. Ashwath Narayanan presented a vocal concert. Accompanying him were Pappu Gnanadev on the violin and Bangalore's senior mridangam vidwan H.S. Sudhindra and Phanindra Bhaskara, a disciple of Sudhindra on the Ghatam.
The senior on the mridangam supported the young team with generous appreciation throughout the concert.
As is customary of concerts this season, Ashwath too presented kritis on Lord Rama. Dikshitar's grand composition 'Mamava pattabhirama' in Manirangu and the main number 'Nannu palimpa' in Mohanam stood out. While 'Varalandu Kommani' in Gurjari did remind us of Dr. S. Ramanathan, Ashwath rendered a composition of Dr. S. Ramanathan 'Na moravina rada' in Gopriya. April 8, 2017 marked the birth centenary of the scholar. Ashwath surprised the audience with Kanaka Dasa's 'Baro Krishnayya' after the main piece.
Ashwath Narayanan, a disciple of Padma Narayanaswamy travels from Chennai for concerts this season. He was happy when the audience, which included a couple of musicians, went up to him to appreciate after the concert.
