The evening began with a short speech by Sri Kulkarni and some introductions.

The concert began with an ultra short sketch of kAmbhOji and the varNam rendered well. The dhEnukA kriti was rendered well with a nice round of svarams. The pantuvarALi kriti was rendered well with nice neraval and svarams at 'lakSmI dEvI valacunA lakSmanuNDu golucunA' and the new caraNam along with the usual 'kapi vAriti'.

The rItigauLa AlApanai was good and the kriti couldnt get rarer. It was rendered well with a nice round of svarams. The rendition of tODi svarajati was rendered well. The main kAmbhOji AlApanai was good. However, one felt that Sri Ramprasad's voice was growing tired as he went on to the tAra sthAyi. The kriti was rendered well with neraval and svarams at 'aDuttu vanda ennai taLLalAgAdu haraharA enRu sonnAlum pOdAdu'.

The sindu bhairavi piece and madhyamavati concluding pieces were good. Sri Ramprasad was good all thro' the concert. He was ably supported by the accompanists.
