NJ Nandini: Ragas in Bloom

May 24, 2024

NJ Nandini’s concert offered a poised, lyrical, and meticulously crafted presentation of Carnatic music. Her approach—anchored in classical rigor while remaining fluid and expressive—gave each raga room to unfold with intention. Listeners were treated to a program shaped by clean phrasing, thoughtful manodharma, and a compelling sense of musical storytelling.

She was joined by an exceptional team: Vidwan B. Ananthakrishnan on the violin, Vidwan Thanjavur Murugaboopathi on the mridangam, and Vidwan N. Guruprasad on the ghatam. Their collaborative interplay elevated the recital into a cohesive, elegant musical experience.
