The first concert was by Smt. Saavitri Ramanand, supported on the violin by Sri. B.Raghuttam and on the mridangam by Sri. Murali Balachandran. Smt. Saavitri chose as her theme the krithis of Thyagaraja on other deities. The highlight of her concert was a brilliantly rendered Kalyani alapana followed by the Kovoor Pancharatna krithi "Ninnu nammi vacchina".
