Musicians from 18 countries and 16 Indian states will gather in Bengaluru to participate in the Brillante Piano Festival organized by Chokkapan S. According to Naga pianist Khyochano TCK, Bengaluru is a city with a strong sense of community that values various forms of arts and culture. The festival, which originated in Kohima, Nagaland in 2017, is set to take place in Bengaluru this weekend. Khyochano emphasizes the festival's mission to unite musicians from around the world for a common purpose and vision within the city's vibrant cultural landscape.

The event will offer performances, workshops, competitions, and masterclasses encompassing a range of genres such as jazz, contemporary, and classical music. Additionally, the festival will feature a platform for Specially Abled Musicians (SAM) with a focus on inclusivity and admiration rather than drawing attention to differences.

Khyochano stresses that the festival highlights the unity of artists worldwide working towards a shared goal. Prior to the event, a street piano performance on Church Street showcased community engagement through music, providing a creative and cultural experience for all attendees. This initiative exemplified the impact of music and art in bringing diverse communities together.
