Musicians from 18 countries and 16 Indian states are set to gather in Bengaluru for the Brillante Piano Festival organized by Chokkapan S. The city of Bengaluru is known for its strong sense of community that values various forms of arts and culture, as highlighted by Naga pianist Khyochano TCK, the driving force behind bringing the festival to the city this weekend. The festival aims to unite musicians from diverse backgrounds for a shared purpose and vision, taking advantage of Bengaluru's vibrant cultural atmosphere. Originating in Kohima, Nagaland in 2017, the festival showcases performances, workshops, competitions, and masterclasses covering genres like jazz, contemporary, and classical music. Noteworthy is the festival's inclusion of the Specially Abled Musicians (SAM) platform, displaying a commitment to inclusivity and respect for all participants. Leading up to the event, a street piano performance on Church Street exemplified the community's engagement with music, serving as a meaningful expression of unity and cultural diversity through artistic endeavors.
