Azad commenced the programme with a traditional uthan followed by a peshkar based on teen tal of the Banaras Gharana. He then moved on to present kayda, rela, palta before a technical part consisting of gats, chakradhar and farmaishi chakradhar amid applause.

The tabla maestro concluded his recital with crisp traditional bandishes of his gharana. He was accompanied by Rakesh Kumar on harmonium.
