I had a chance to perform with the Acharyanet Ensemble at Cleveland Thyaagaraaja Aaraadhana in April this year. We sang four of Chithravina N Ravikiran’s compositions from the 108 Divya Desha Gaanamrutham. In addition, I had a chance to meet Sandeep Narayanan and see Bharath Sundar’s Vocal Concert.
