A. Kanyakumari at Kerala School, RK Puram

A. Kanyakumari performed at the Kerala School, RK Puram this evening. The two and a half hour violin recital was lively and the 74-year old Kanyakumari kept engaging with the audience.

  1. Vatapi Ganapathim, Hamsadhwani, Muttusamy Diskshitar composition
  2. Endaro Mahanubavulu, Sri Ragam, Thyagaraja’s Pancharatna krithi
  3. Janani Ninuvina, Reetigowla, Shyama Shastri composition
  4. Composition in Ragam Ganga which apparently is her creation. I found it very similar to Vagadeeshwari
  5. Anaathu Daanu in Jingala, Thyagaraja
