It was the meeting of North and South in terms of the music and, that of East and West as regards the instruments. Curiosity was writ large on the faces of the rasikas as Kadri Gopalnath shared the dais with Pravin Godkhindi. The saxophone and the flute or bansuri together created mesmerising effects as was evident from the rounds of spontaneous applause from the audience.

“It is unfortunate that Sri Parthasarathy Swami Sabha, one of the oldest in the country and which has been the abode of some of the greatest Carnatic exponents, does not have its own building,” Tirumala Tirupathi Ilayakoil Kelvi Appan Govinda Ramanuja Chinna Jeeyar Swamigal lamented here on Thursday.
Inaugurating the 111th December Music Festival of the sabha, the Jeeyar pointed out that the sabha was established in 1900 and had a glorious heritage.
