Double Treat at Ragasudha!
Pushkaram Trust's July concerts happened yesterday (12th July) at Ragasudha Hall with two brilliant performances.
Concert 1: Vidushi Ragasudha Balasubramanian.
The evening began delightfully with the talented, young Vidushi Ragasudha Balasubramanian. Fittingly performing "Ragasudha at Ragasudha," she opened with the Kamboji Varnam, Pankajaakshi, followed by a deeply moving rendering of Edhayya Gathi that felt like total surrender. Her grand explorations of Purvikalyani and Gowrimanohari—interspersed with the all-time favourite Samagaana Lolane—made for a beautifully structured, neat concert. She received superb accompaniment from Thrissur’s violin talent Adhithya Anil and the very young, promising mridangist A. P. Mahizhan. The full performance is up on the Pushkaram Trust YouTube Channel. Do watch, enjoy, and leave your valuable feedback for these young stars!
Concert 2:
Vidwan Adithyanarayanan S...
The second half brought a soothing, breezy experience by Vid. Adithyanarayanan S. He was in total focus and calm, opening with Maravakave in Ragam Saama alongside firecracker swarams. He then transitioned into a calming Sadhachaleshwaram (Bhoopalam) by Sri Muthuswami Diksh*tar, moved seamlessly into Janani Ninnu Vina (Reethigowlai), and picked up the pace with a peppy Varaalandhu. The grand finale was a majestic rendition of Shankarabaranam (Emi Neramu).His poised singing completely engulfed a packed house, keeping the audience glued to their seats until the very end. A huge shoutout to the powerhouse accompanists—Vid. Madan Mohan (Violin), Vid. Praveen Sparsh (Mridangam), and Vid. K. V. Gopalakrishnan (Kanjira)—whose stellar playing elevated the entire dynamics of the concert.
A spectacular July for Pushkaram Trust, made possible by the unwavering support of Jaya mami and Shiva.
See you all soon at the next concert!
