Famous Violin Wizard L.Athira Krishna gave a Stunning Concert at LE ROYAL MERIDIEN , Chennai on 29th May ,2009.
Her Stunning Music was soul stirring and the evening was mesmerising in her musical virtuosity.
Her fingers spoke a divine language on her violin that was sublime,serene and amazingly dazzling.Though very young ,the music that flowed was of a very high callibre ,resulting in a heartwarming ambience.
With a brilliant band comprising Neil Roberts on the Bass Guitar , Jain on Tabla , Sunder on Drums and Percussion ,Athira Krishna was poetic in her Performance.
As if made for the Violin,she moved on from ragas to ragas and carnatic to western classical and jazz and a wide range of musical influences ,that many times if one closes his eyes it was a brilliant musical mosaic of world music genres.
