To kick start it was Pt Santosh Nahar from Delhi ,he played Raag Ahir Bhairav . His deft fingering on the violin caught everybodys attention, on the Tabla Adarsh Shenoy kept pace and came up with interesting answers.
For the Bangalore audience violin is definitely not a new instrument but Pt Nahar’s handling was a treat to watch.

Following vocal recital of Pt Ulhas Telang from Bhopal he presented Raag Nat Bhairav .his performance was so full of information .he explained the concepts behind the raaga and presented amazing variety of compositions He also performed Raag Desi in the typical Rajasthani style.
On the tabla pt rajendra nakod with his inimitable style of playing kept the audience rapt. Narasimha kulkarni on the harmonium was almost a shadow of the vocalist.

Evening session: Amidst some heavy rains started on time and a very big crowd turned in.

For the first time in Bangalore a complete thumri concert was organised the singer Aarti Srivastava from allahabad is pursuing this rare and dying art .mishra khamaj, mishra peelu and jhoola were some of the beautiful pieces.
