Sri Bidaram Krishnappa’s Sri Prasanna Seetharama Mandira witnessed a sumptuous classical treat on Apr. 25. The internationally acclaimed Chitraveena Maestro Vidu. N. Ravikiran enthralled the audience with his chitraveena recital. A child prodigy, a prolific composer, an author, a performer of vocal and chitraveena, a Guru and an activist, Ravikiran has too many achievements for his credit. He has discovered many ragas, written not just Varna or kruthis, but also operas apart from composing music for several lyrics. He has the vast experience of working with western artistes too. But when he is on the stage to perform Karnatak classical music, he is a strict traditionalist.
He was accompanied by young Vidu. Gayatri Sivani on violin, Vid. Tumkur Ravishankar on mridanga and Vid. Sharath Koushik on ghata.
