Sufi musicians Girish Sadhwani and Khanak Joshi will perform at the Alliance Française de Bangalore on April 10 for Jalsa-e-Sufiyana, a fundraiser show organised by Charista Foundation.

Khanak started singing at three and performing when she was five. At 14 now, she is well-known in Hindustani and Sufi music circuits.

Grammy-winning guitarist Prakash Sontakke and composer Praveen D Rao will be guests of honour.

On April 10, 4 pm to 6 pm and 7 pm to 9 pm. Donour passes, at Rs 300, will be available at the venue. For more information, call 9902077066 or 9007964170
