On the third day of the Music festival, the stage reverberated to the performance of Vid (Kum) Varijashree’s Flute recital at Sri Rama Mandali, Jayanagar East End. Such was her perfection that she started the concert with a very short Sa-Pa-Sa and boom, she started with Naatakuranji Varna.
This was a good start to a silent evening with rasikas trickling in. All the chairs were occupied by the time she concluded the Varna. She followed this with a very detailed alapana in raga Nata and recited "Mahaganaptim". It was a rarity to hear her perform a very detailed swara prastaram to this kriti. She displayed all the nadais with ease.
Varija then picked a very rare Thyagaraja kriti “Adugaradani” in raga Manoranjani. “Rama Nee Samaana” in Kharaharapriya was the main item in her recital. She displayed finesse in rendering this number. In the lighter parts she rendered “Pibare Rama Rasam”, “Ramchandra Krupalu”, “Venkatachala Nilayam” and concluded the concert with a Balamurali’s Thillana in raga Brindavani.
Ably supported by Vid Achyut Rao on the violin, she kept the audience in awe with her excellent stage presence and humility. Vid Adamya and Vid Srishaila gave a fantastic boost on the Mridangam and Ghatam respectively.
