The second edition of the Music Festival in the city commences on November 17 and concludes on November 20. The four concerts encompass various musical genres. From Carnatic and Hindustani classical to folk, rock and roll and blues, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
For the first time in India, as part of a series of live concerts two young visitors Zeb and Haniya from Lahore will sing songs drawn from musical traditions across the world.
‘Adrishta', with Ganesh Rajagopalan and Debashish Bhattacharya, opens the festival.
On the second day the whimsically named ‘Subject to Change' brings a medley of music rooted in alternative and indigenous styles. Benny Dayal, who has several hits with A.R. Rahman, is part of this group.
The artistes from Pakistan perform on the third day while the festival concludes with some of the best R.D. Burman melodies brought alive by a young foursome.
