Ramya Kiranmai began with a composition of the veteran musicologist TR Subrahmanyam — a varnam in Behag set to Adi Talam which she sang in a single speed. A good start it was, which was followed by a good many compositions by Thyagaraja, Annamacharya, Mysore Vasudevachar, Muthuswami Dikshitar, and Syama Sastri, among others.

The contribution by both Rajasekhar on violin and Ramakrishna on mrudangam contributed in further raising the level of the concert, which also saw the presentation of ‘Thumak Chalath Ramachandra’, a bhajan by Tulsidas, and a Thillana by Lalgudi in ‘Rageswari’, which concluded the outstanding performance.
