The Ensemble Performing Tonight
Three artists share the stage.
Dr. Baby Sreeram — Vocal. She leads the concert. Consequently, her raga choices shape the arc of the whole evening.
R. Madhavan — Violin. He provides melodic accompaniment and answers the vocal line.
B. Sivaraman — Mridangam. He anchors the rhythmic foundation of every piece.
Why the Classic Trio Format Works
Many concerts now add a ghatam or kanjira alongside the mridangam. However, the vocal-violin-mridangam trio remains the foundational Carnatic format.
The reason is balance. Each artist has a distinct role, and nothing crowds the sound. The voice leads, the violin shadows and answers, and the mridangam holds the rhythmic frame. Because there is no second percussion instrument, the mridangam carries the full tani avartanam alone.
In fact, a solo tani lets you follow the rhythmic architecture more clearly. So a Carnatic concert at Ragasudha Hall in trio format suits listeners who want the form in its purest shape.
What to Expect During the Concert
Carnatic concerts follow a recognisable arc.
The opening. The vocalist usually begins with a varnam or a brisk kriti to set the tempo.
The main raga. Then the pace settles into an extended treatment with alapana, kriti, neraval and kalpanaswaram.
The tani avartanam. The mridangam takes a solo section.
The closing set. Finally, lighter pieces such as thillanas and devotional compositions round off the evening.
However, artists rarely fix the list in advance. Instead, they read the room and adjust as they go.
About Naada Inbam
Naada Inbam runs concerts from its Luz Avenue base in Mylapore. The organisation holds a strong reputation among regular sabha audiences.
Notably, this particular series is sponsored by a rasika from Kerala. Patron-supported concerts have long sustained Carnatic music. Consequently, series like this give artists stage time outside the crowded December season.
About the Venue
Ragasudha Hall sits on Luz Avenue in Bhaskarapuram, close to Nageshwararao Park. The venue seats a modest audience.
Therefore, the space feels intimate. For a vocal concert, that closeness genuinely helps — you catch detail that a large auditorium would flatten.
How to Reach the Venue
A few tips help:
Arrive by 6:00 PM. Seating is limited and fills steadily.
Use the park as your landmark. Autos recognise Nageshwararao Park instantly.
Plan your parking. Luz Avenue’s side streets stay narrow. So park on a main road and walk.
Call ahead. Reach 044 2499 2672 to confirm admission and seating.
Plan Your Evening in Mylapore
Mylapore rewards an early arrival. Kapaleeshwarar Temple stands minutes away, and Luz Corner offers filter coffee and tiffin before the concert.
Finally, keep tracking Chennai classical music events with us. Between year-round series and the December Margazhi season, Mylapore stays busy almost every week.
Final Thoughts
A classic trio format, an intimate hall and a patron-supported series — this Carnatic concert at Ragasudha Hall makes a fine Tuesday evening plan. Reach by 6:00 PM and settle in before the first piece.
