King Brothers (Violin)

“Marukelara” was rendered effortlessly in a short and crisp way. Anish appears to have mastered violin at a young age – L.R.S. Mani

I have seen the brothers playing violin for many years. The bowing technique has improved a lot. Their success can be attributed to their strong grip on talam and good coordination of fingers – Mr. Satyalingam

Guru Mangalam Shankar (Carnatic vocal)

Mangalam teacher’s rendition of heavy raga krithis displayed her versatility and was a refreshing change. The nuances of Pantuvarali and Kalyani were brought out in a detailed manner.Sivaraman Sir and Sundaresan Sir provided excellent support. Overall, the choice of ragas and adept style of rendering the krithis made the concert enriching and enjoyable indeed! – Lavanya Ramesh

A wonderful concert in all. Mrs. Mangalam displayed her mastery in music. The accompanists were great to hear. I have no words to describe the experience of listening to the artist - Rajaraman

Todi raga varnam in 2 kalaas, kalpana swaras of ataana raga kriti and neraval of pantuvarali were rendered very efficiently – Guru Padmalingam
