Day 2 at the Fort School ground

This is a working day evening in Bangalore.
So you wouldn't get more than a dozen rasikas for a 5.15 pm concert.

We are reminded of the post-lunch concerts at the sabhas in Chennai during the famed December Season - when juniors get a slot and all they have in front of them are their families and relatives.

This evening, it is concert time for two brothers who play the keyboard.
R. Arjun Sambasivan and R. Narayanan from Chennai.

They have been learning under the famous Mandolin Shrinivas for two years now - and the distinctive plucking sound echoes through the mantap.

Their Dad Raman tells us that they have been trying to get a slot to play for the Sri Ramanavami fest for some years and are happy to be here this evening.

"One son is a natural and the other is hardworking, " he says trying to reason the difference in the boys' styles.

Young Sathyanarayana in Chennai has made the keyboard another trademark in classical music. Now, teens are taking after him.

You can contact the keyboard duo at 94440 39737.
