Musicians representing 18 countries and 16 Indian states are set to gather in Bengaluru for the Brillante Piano Festival organized by Chokkapan S. The festival, which embraces the strong sense of community in the city, is a celebration of diverse arts and cultures. According to Khyochano TCK, a Naga pianist who is bringing the festival to Bengaluru, the city's vibrant cultural scene provides an ideal backdrop for this event, which originated in Kohima, Nagaland in 2017.

The festival will offer a wide range of activities including performances, workshops, competitions, and masterclasses across various genres such as jazz, contemporary, and classical music. It also includes a platform for Specially Abled Musicians (SAM), reflecting the festival's commitment to inclusivity and admiration for talented individuals.

Khyochano emphasizes the importance of artists coming together from around the world with a shared purpose and vision. Prior to the festival, an event featuring street piano performances on Church Street highlighted the power of music and art in fostering community engagement and creative expression. This event showcased how music and art can serve as cultural expressions that unite diverse communities.
