On the fourth day of the music series of Ramabhyudaya Sabha, Srirampet, senior violinist Vidu. Kanyakumari gave a violin concert with her student Dr. Nishanth Chandra on violin accompaniment, Vid. Sai Giridhar on mridanga and Vid. Vyasa Vittala on kanjira.
Kanyakumari has been playing violin for more than half a century now. She was the favourite accompanist for the legendary MLV and even as a child I remember attending MLV’s concerts with her accompaniment. But what is amazing is the same zeal and strength with which she plays the instrument for hours together even at the age of 72 years. Her fingers move with the same speed and clarity as it used to fifty years ago!
