The sense of community in Bengaluru is very strong, as stated by Naga pianist Khyochano TCK who is bringing the Brillante Piano Festival to the city this weekend. The festival will bring together musicians from 18 countries and 16 Indian states in Bengaluru, uniting for a common purpose. The vibrant cultural scene in Bengaluru provides the perfect backdrop for this festival, which originated in Kohima, Nagaland in 2017. The festival will showcase performances, workshops, competitions, and masterclasses in genres like jazz, contemporary, and classical music, along with a platform for Specially Abled Musicians (SAM). Khyochano emphasizes the importance of inclusivity, making the festival a platform for global artists to come together with a shared vision. Prior to the festival, a street piano event at Church Street highlighted the community's engagement with music, showcasing the power of creative expression and art to bring diverse communities together.
