Musicians from 18 countries and 16 Indian states will gather in Bengaluru for the Brillante Piano Festival, brought to the city by Naga pianist Khyochano TCK. According to Khyochano, Bengaluru values various forms of arts and culture, making it an ideal host for the festival that originated in Kohima, Nagaland in 2017. The festival will offer performances, workshops, competitions, and masterclasses in genres like jazz, contemporary, and classical music. A unique feature is the Specially Abled Musicians (SAM) platform, introduced in the 2023 edition to promote inclusivity. Khyochano emphasizes that the festival aims to unite artists globally with a shared purpose and vision. Prior to the festival, an event on Church Street showcased community engagement through music, highlighting the transformative power of art and music in connecting diverse communities.
