SIMA concerts - Shashank and Sandeep

We attended an hour's worth of Shashank's flute concert. Dhenuka and Surutti alapanas made the ragams sound very different to me. We had to leave as we didnt want to keep Avaneesh in the cold air outside the auditorium for too long.
Sandeep Narayan gave a grand homecoming concert on March 24th evening. The songlist is here:

Sandeep has taken up Sri Sanjay's baani very well. In particular, I liked his rendition of the Ahiri song. Neyveli Venkatesh's thani exuded youthful energy to complement the youngster's singing. The audience enjoyed everything and forgave his forgetting a line and getting the violinist's help for Thamburi meetidhava.
