The power of community in Bengaluru is strong, as it is a city that values all forms of arts and culture, according to Naga pianist Khyochano TCK. He is bringing the Brillante Piano Festival to the city this weekend, which will see musicians from 18 countries and 16 Indian states coming together. This festival aims to unite people with a shared purpose and vision, and Bengaluru's vibrant cultural scene provides an ideal backdrop for the event. The festival, which originated in 2017 in Kohima, Nagaland, will showcase performances, workshops, competitions, and masterclasses spanning various genres like jazz, contemporary, and classical music. Additionally, the festival will feature a platform for Specially Abled Musicians (SAM), promoting inclusivity and admiration for individuals with special abilities. The organizers recently held a street piano event at Church Street, emphasizing the importance of community engagement and creative expression through music. This event highlighted how music and art can serve as cultural bridges, uniting diverse communities in a shared experience.
