Grand Violin Ensemble, a Carnatic music concert, was conducted by Ragamalika in the Main Auditorium on January 27, 2023. It showcased Vidushi Apoorva Krishna, an accomplished South Indian Classical instrumentalist, on the violin and Vidwan Manohar Balatchandirane, her talented accompanist, on the mridangam.The event was attended by a small but enthusiastic crowd. Though the event began late due to audio issues, the performance was conducted smoothly. 

The event commenced with the lighting of the lamp by the Director, Vice Chancellor, and the performers. The performers played multiple pieces including Manavyalakinchara, Bhajana Seya Rada, Niravadhi Sukhada, Nagumomu Ganaleni and many more. They started off with Manavyala Kinchara—a composition by Thyagaraja. Their well-coordinated performance saw immense participation from the audience as they swayed their heads and tapped their feet. Played on a five-stringed violin, Vidhushi Apoorva’s solo performance mesmerised the audience as well. The audience was blown away by the main piece ‘Nagumomu Ganaleni’ in Ragam Abheri set to Adi Talam composed by Thyagaraja. This was followed by Thani Avartanam on the mridangam. The concert concluded with a “Mangalam—Pavamana”. As the final note rang out in the auditorium, the crowd erupted into applause and the artists basked in the praise bestowed upon them.
