I reached the concert late, while she was singing varALi. The varALi was good. One kept wondering as to why she directly started singing mel kala svarams in varALi. The answer came with a long elaborate very enjoyable and carefully structured 15 minute bhairavi alapanai. The kriti and the neraval svarams at 'vatsamu' were very good. The concert was well planned and she did a good job.

The violinst was good all thro' and so was the mrudangist in providing sensible accompaniment all thro' the concert.
