Sri Nadabrahma Sangeetha Sabha, Mysuru, conducts an annual classical music contest in the month of August every year where young classical musicians in all categories from all over the State are invited to perform. The contestants are filtered to a count of ten by the Selection Committee and the selected participants perform before an invited audience with accompaniments. Three concerts are performed every day and four on the final day. The results are transparent and announced immediately after the competition. The winner is given the title ‘Nadakishori/ Nadakishora’ and a full-fledged concert in January every year. Dhanya won the award this year with a big margin. The best accompanists’ award this year went to Prithvi Bhaskar and Nandan Kashyap, who accompanied Dhanya in the present concert.
