Ranjani Memorial Trust, Udupi, has been successful in organising Ninaada Griha Sangeeth-3 at Rishabh Siddhi Layout in Kergalli, Mysuru, on Feb. 26, after the preceding two Hindustani Concerts in earlier two months.
Disciple of the Sarod Maestro, nonagenarian Pt. Rajiv Taranath, Sachin Hampe, gave a sarod recital in the beginning. An elaborate Patdeep with alap and jod, followed by a gath in teen taal in raga Kafi were ably executed with adroit tihay-layakaris. Meghashyam Keshav gave an appropriate support on tabla.
Ravishankar Mishra of Mysuru gave his bansuri recital later. Yaman featured in its vilambit ek taal and drut teen taal expositions. The soothing Bhairavidhun was the concluding piece. Meghashyam Keshav rendered strength to the entire concert with his brilliant playing of tabla.
V. Saranga Hebbar, the curator of the Trust Programme at Mysuru, proposed a vote of thanks.
March Bhaitak
The March monthly evening concert (6 pm) was also announced during the occasion.
Dr. Sudhanshu Kulkarni of Belagavi will be invited on Mar. 18 (Saturday). He will be speaking on ‘How to evince interest in children towards Classical music’ in the first part of the session. Later, he will give his harmonium duet performance with his son Sarang Kulkarni. Bhimashankar Bidanur will give support on tabla.
Kargalli layout? These layouts coming thick and fast after the late 1970s rush of non -Mysoreans like Mr Ganapathy, Barmy Shenoy and others , resulting in the destruction of forest around Mysore, then a beautiful city. No wonder this city is fast becoming another Bangalore, as the population of India surpasses e that of China.
The North India classical music event suggests that there are thousands of North Indians , perhaps the IT Techies who do the cheap IT work for the outsourced IT projects.
What a city this Mysore has become! What a shame|!!
