The flute recital by maestro N. Ramani, his son Thiagarajan and granson Athulkumar  on May 14,2006 at Green Hope High school, Cary, North Carolina, offered a combination of chaste tradition and pleasing melody. There were no gimmicks and their emphasis seemed, decidedly more on melody than virtuosity. The spirited mridangam by father - daughter duo of Dr.P.K.Swaminathan and Rajna Swaminathan added to the charm and made it a memorable evening. The concert was organised by ICMDS, Raleigh, NC.
