In Bengaluru, the power of community is strong and appreciates all types of arts and culture, according to pianist Khyochano TCK. Bringing the Brillante Piano Festival to the city this weekend, Khyochano highlights the city's vibrant cultural scene as a perfect backdrop for the event. Musicians from 18 countries and 16 Indian states will gather in Bengaluru for performances, workshops, competitions, and masterclasses in genres like jazz, contemporary, and classical music. The festival also includes a platform for Specially Abled Musicians (SAM), reflecting a commitment to inclusivity. Leading up to the festival, a street piano event at Church Street showcased community engagement through music, emphasizing the unifying power of music and art in cultural expression across diverse communities.
