Carnatic music concerts are usually performed by a small ensemble of musicians.
The group usually has a vocalist, a primary instrumentalist, and a percussionist.
Primary instruments are usually string instruments, such as the veena and the violin, although wind instruments such the flute may also be used.
Although Carnatic music concerts have been traditionally vocal recitals, in recent years, purely instrumental concerts have become popular.

The vocalist is supported by many instruments.
The tambura, the most common kind of drone instrument, is traditionally used at concerts to remind the singer of the tonic, so that the singer may stay in tune throughout the performance. Tambura is increasingly being replaced by the more compact śruti box (also known as the "electronic tambura").
