Chennai N. Harish rendered a vocal concert at the 82nd monthly Tamil music festival of the Tiruchi Tamil Isai Sangam at the Tiruchi Tamil Sangam Hall. The concert comprised popular verses and songs composed by great seers and poets.
Harish, disciple of Vijay Siva, commenced the concert in a promising note with ‘Guruvarulum' composed by Gowri Sankar in Abhogi ragam. It was followed by ‘Innum Paaramugamo' in Begada composed by Duraisamy Kavirayar. The popular kriti ‘Sevika Vaendum' by Muthuthandavar in Andolika cast a magic spell on the rasikas.
