The impressive feature of this Sri Ramanavami Music Fest series is the strong presence of neighborhood rasikas at the local mandali/hall where concerts are on.
On Sunday evening, crossing over from the BEML Layout to Basaveshwaranagar took time. Mysore Road was packed with traffic at some junctions and then, a large procession diverted us.
When we arrived at the Vani School, the venue for the festival concerts the open air place was packed to the walls. And the streets around filled with parked cars and bikes.
This was the evening of the violinists - Mysore Manjunath and Nagaraj - and their music zipped through the neighbourhood on this quiet Sunday.
Rasikas sat through the concert till 9.30 p.m. and the big applause was for the percussionists as they juggled with the 'tani' at the fag end of the concert and the violinist-brothers displayed their wizardry.
Young rasikas even whistled in approval - one has never heard rasikas whistling to applaud. It only happens in the movie halls!
