Concerts

 The concert is the culmination of all parts of Carnatic. It is through the melody, rhythm, instruments and of course the composition that a concert can be brought to life. It is where everything comes together and with a little bit of improvisation showcases the breadth of melody and song that Carnatic has to offer.

In concerts, there are two types of music style, with one being based on a specific melody and the other being based on the singing of several songs. In song-centric concerts, there will usually be a main song or songs played after a warmup of several shorter pieces of music. On the other hand, melody-centric concerts will involve explorations of melody and rhythm with lyrics improvised to match. While compositions are much more important to Carnatic music, improvisation still has its own importance.
