About
the Maharagapuram Gandharva’s Concert in a Capsule
Video Series Initiative
For those
of us who love the idea of the sabha but cannot always spare two hours, this
series is a beginning. Each episode takes a live concert . The kind where the
air in the hall changes when the artist finds a phrase and distils it within twenty
minutes. A thread of an alapana. A niraval that lifts off unexpectedly. A
moment when the mridangam answers a question the vocalist did not know they
were asking.
You may
not recognise every raga. You do not need to. You may not know what a thani
avartanam is. That is completely fine. The music will find you exactly where
you are.
This is
not a documentary. This is not a lecture. This is a concert. Ten minutes of
one. And if it does what we hope it does, ten minutes will not feel like nearly
enough.
Welcome. Press play.
About
the Second Episode – 19th
July 2026 - –-“Rudrapatna
Music Festival” Concert Concert by Maharajapuram S.Ganesh Viswanathan on May 22nd
2026
In this
episode, vocalist Maharajapuram S Ganesh Viswanathan presents
a soulful Carnatic music concert as part of the 23rd Annual Music
Festival of Rudrapatna Sangeetha Grama, held at the sacred Sri Rama
Mandira, Sangeetha Grama, Rudrapatna, Karnataka.
The concert opens with a brisk Sree Ragam Varnam and moves through a beautiful spread of ragas — from the joyous Hamsadhwani and the rare Kannada Gowla, to an elaborate and evocative Pantuvarali alapana leading into Thyagaraja's "Shambho Mahadeva." The concert's emotional core unfolds through a standalone Mohanam alapana and a richly detailed Shanmukhapriya exploration, culminating in R.K. Padmanabha's "Saradhe Visharadhe." The concert draws to a gentle close with Purandaradasa's "Samudhrava Naa Kandu" in Raga Behag.
