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 – 19^th July 2026 - –-“Rudrapatna Music Festival” Concert Concert by Maharajapuram S.Ganesh Viswanathan on May 22^nd 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.
