The strength of community in Bengaluru is remarkable, as expressed by Naga pianist Khyochano TCK, who is bringing the Brillante Piano Festival to the city this weekend. Musicians from 18 countries and 16 Indian states will gather in Bengaluru for the festival, which aims to unite people under a common purpose and vision. With its vibrant cultural scene, Bengaluru provides an ideal backdrop for the festival, which originated in Kohima, Nagaland in 2017. The festival will feature a variety of performances, workshops, competitions, and masterclasses in genres such as jazz, contemporary, and classical music. Additionally, the festival includes a platform for Specially Abled Musicians (SAM), reflecting a commitment to inclusivity and admiration for individuals with special needs. The event serves as a testament to the power of music and art in fostering community engagement and bridging diverse communities.
