Three-Day festival was a good platform for young artistes

Velcheti Subrahmanyam

Visakha Music Academy's three-day mid-year festival of up and coming artistes was a good showcase of promising talents in music and dance at Kalabharati in Visakhapatnam. The academy, which has been on the forefront in promoting classical music and dance for over four decades, remains instrumental in encouraging up and coming artistes by providing a platform for their performances

At the recent fest, the artistes displayed their grasp on the nitty-gritty of classical music and its presentation in a concert format. What was particularly impressive about their performances was their earnest efforts in raga elaboration and its improvisations. Though their exploration, in a way, remained limited, it was truly reflective of their genuine urge to scale the peaks. Their penchant for full-throated singing remained constant all through.
