Noted flautist Dr Jayaprada Ramamurthy gave a mesmerizing performance at the DST Auditorium at the University of Hyderabad (UoH) recently.  The concert titled ‘Melody of the Flute’ was able to captivate music lovers for over two hours.

Starting the kacheri with Ganesh Stuti, the flautist went on to play Raaga Hamsadhwani and Bhimpalas to absolute perfection, which got a thunderous applause from one and all.

This was followed by Raagas Vanaspati, Mishra Khamas, Ananda Bhairavi, Sindhubhairavi, Mishrayaman and Kuntalavarali with Sri Thyagaraya, Ramadas, Kanakadasa and Annamacharya kirtanas.

Those in the audience were treated to an euphonious evening of classical melodies. Other pieces included Raaga Ahirbhairav, Raaga Brindavansarang, Revathi and Madhyamavathi that saw the audience tapping their feet. Dr Jayaprada was accompanied by Dhanunjay on the violin, Mallikarjuna on the mridangam and Bhargavram on the ghatam.
