<p>The concert started out with a Carnatic vocal by Suman G, whose mellifluous rendition of bhajans set the appropriate mood for the musical evening. Suman started her concert with a composition by Muthuswami Dikshitar in Navaragamalika Varnam and went on to sing many popular bhajans by the same composer. <br /><br />Her deep voice added a new dimension to the devotional music and was enjoyed by the audience. She was accompanied on violin by Vasuki Parimala and on mrudangam by H S Venkatesh. <br /><br />But it was when K M Krishna took the stage for yet another power-packed Carnatic vocal with his accompaniments, the evening took a new pace. The audience thoroughly enjoyed his breathtaking performance that was fresh and soulful. <br /><br />He opened his concert with an elaborate presentation of a Rama stuthi, ‘Ramachandra Samrakshito’ and sang many popular bhajans like ‘Sujana Jeevana Rama’ composed by Muthuswami Dikshitar. <br /><br />Krishna did not disappoint his audience and responded well to their requests. <br />The ‘Sree Ramanavami National Music Festival’ will be held till May 9 at Fort High School Grounds, Chamarajpet with each day featuring different musicians from across the nation.<br /><br /> “This annual music fete will be held continuously for 36 days.
