Mandolin U Shrinivas passed away in September last year in Chennai after multiple organ failure.



Shrinivas was the first to bring the mandolin into the world of Carnatic music, inventing a distinct sound and reshaping the instrument.



The event featured several musicians, including Ustad Zakir Hussain, Vikku Vinayakaram, Shankar Mahadevan, Aruna Sairam and Mandolin U. Rajesh, performed as a mark of respect.



Kamal Haasan, the chief guest of the concert, spoke highly about the musician and reminisced the good old days.



Music Academy president N. Murali was also a part of the grand event.



On the occasion, Kamal also launched a CD in memory of Srinivas.
