Sikkil Gurucharan @ Raga Sudha Hall

Raga Sudha Hall, near Nageshwara Rao Park in Luz, is currently host to the first Chennaionline music festival. Sikkil Gurucharan performed yesterday as a part of this festival. He was accompanied by Nagai Sri Ram on the violin. It was a high quality concert which was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience. I liked the main piece of the concert in varali raaga “Aadiya Padhame”. The alapanais of both the vocalist and the violinist were excellent.

The hall was packed for most part of the concert, even though there were other concerts of eminent artistes at other locations at the same time. This, infact, makes me doubt the assertion that the rasika base for Carnatic music is decreasing every year.
