Young and vibrant, Ramakrishnan Murthy graced the stage yesterday, delivering a remarkable concert that will linger in our memories.

His performance resonates with echoes of the greats while navigating the intricacies of ragas and krithis, all the while carving his own refreshing style.

We are truly fortunate to have an artist of his caliber shouldering the legacy of Carnatic music with great prowess. The trio of Vittal Rangan on the violin, Kishore Ramesh on the mridangam, and Vazhapally Krishnakumar on the ghatam provided outstanding support, maintaining a consistently high tempo throughout the concert.

The thani avarthanam by the two percussionists, participating in the Gokulashtami series for the first time, was dynamic and pulsatin.
