Review: 
This concert was organized by Praharshini - a students' group of IISc. The hall was a small  hall with  a capacity of 100. It was a  very good concert by Kaushik, a disciple of Pt. Parameshwara Hegde. He has a rich voice with a  good flexibility. His rendering was flawless. The accompaniment on Harmonium and Tabla was also very good. The accompanying artists followed up the main artist very well and inspired him throughout the concert. The acoustics  of the hall was ordinary. At some points when vocalist turned his face away from the mike, the volume of  Tabla exceeded the vocalist's volume. Except this, it was an excellent concert.
