Jyotsna Srikanth playing at the Darbar Festival at the Kings Place in London on April 2nd 2010.
Accompanying her on the mridangham are Neyveli Venkatesh and H.S. Sudhindra.
'UK-based violinist Jyotsna Srikanth, and two players of the barrel-like mridangam hand-drums provided a remarkable, improvised instrumental set, with the unassuming Srikanth switching between rapid-fire violin ragas and slower, delicate pieces, and some impressive, unrehearsed interplay between the percussionists, one of whom had only been in Britain for a few hours and deserved her standing ovation.' Guardian on Jyotsna Srikanth
You can see the more of the performance on Sky Arts (Channel 257 or 259 on Sky or Channel 285 on Virgin).
@IndyWorldyMusic Wonderful Saraswathi! :-)
Do you happen to have more of the recording Dr. Jyotsna?

Simply fabulous. Jyotsnaji you make us very proud. God bless you and fulfil all your dreams. Many thanks for sharing this exotic piece with me. I am very fond of your music. Great video but just wished there was a bit more warm lighting on the stage!
Many thanks to Sandip Virdee of Darbar Festival for organising this superb festival in style this year.
