Harmonious notes
Music flowed during the five-day Suswara Sammelan held recently at the Sri
Sringeri Mutt, Srirangam.
The five-day Suswara Sammelan was a confluence of music. It was
held recently during the celebrations of the Nadhadweepam Trust’s 15th
anniversary and the 105th birth anniversary of Semmangudi Dr. R. SrinivasaIyer
at Sri Sringeri Mutt, Srirangam.
Maharajapuram Ganesh Vishwanathan (vocal) true to his
heritage, began the concert with Hamsadhwani, Ponniah Pillai’s ‘Ranganathude’
in Sowrasthram was a tribute to the Lord of Srirangam. ‘Rama Neeyeda’ in
Kharaharapriya was elaborate. N. C. Madhav (violin) accompanied the artist
beautifully. Palladam Sri Ravi (mridangam), Tiruchi Krishnaswamy (ghatam) and
Vishnupuram Raghu (morsing ) combined in the Tani. He concluded the concert
with Maharajapuram Santhanam’s favourites, ‘Sri Chakra’ (Ragamalika), ‘Vilayada
Idhu’ (Shanmukhapriya) and a tillana in Basant Bahar.
