TNS started with the standard ninnukori varNam with svarams at the pallavi line.

his svarams for Ela nIdaya rAdu (bAlakanaka) in aTANa were very thrilling. The three rAga AlApanais were in kumudakriyA, mALavi and sAvEri

The kumudakriya was very well handled with a lot of creativity. There were svarams sung at "AgamAdi sannutam". The sahana kriti was also rendered well. The periyAzhvAr pAsuram in khamAs "puLLin vAi piLandittAi" followed by the OVK piece "kANIrE kanjamalar kaNNan" was lovely. This was followed by a pAsuram on ANDAL in UsEni and the thiruppAvai of the day, kaRRa karavai.

The mALavi AlApanai was something done with a lot of innovation. The sAvEri just out of the world. Lovely concert
