My first Sangeeth Sammelan concert

I just came back after my first sangeeth sammelan concert held in New Delhi on 3rd october at FICCI auditorium organised by All India Radio. It will be relayed on Channel A from 10pm to 11pm on 3rd Nov 2009. I accompanied T.M. Krishna on the violin and Poongulam Subramaniam was on the mridangam. The concert went on very well and the hall was packed. The list is

1. Neelayadakshi - Paras - Syama Sasthri
2. RTP - Begada - Adhi - Kailasapathe pasupathe umapathe namosthuthe
3. Javali in Kaanada

His begada rendition was truly awesome and very inspiring. I heard a lot of new phrases. Poongulam subramainiam as usual was very supportive. It is after eleven years I am accompaniying T.M. Krishna (I started my career with him in the year 1998) and it was a truly amazing experience. Surprisingly he remebered it when I told him.
