The power of community is strong in Bengaluru, a city that values various forms of arts and culture, according to Khyochano TCK, a Naga pianist who is bringing the Brillante Piano Festival to the city this weekend. Khyochano highlights that musicians from 18 countries and 16 Indian states will participate in the festival, emphasizing the unity behind the event. Bengaluru's dynamic cultural scene provides an ideal backdrop for the festival, which originated in 2017 in Kohima, Nagaland.

The festival will showcase performances, workshops, competitions, and masterclasses spanning genres like jazz, contemporary, and classical music. Additionally, the festival includes a platform for Specially Abled Musicians (SAM). Khyochano explains the decision to make the festival fully inclusive in 2023, stating a desire for admiration rather than mere attention towards special children.

The festival represents a gathering of artists worldwide with a shared purpose and vision, as described by Khyochano TCK, the festival director. Prior to the event, organizers hosted a street piano event at Church Street, highlighting community engagement through music. Khyochano emphasizes that the event was more than just music; it symbolized the community's creative expression and showcased the power of music and art in connecting diverse communities.
