So why are some top rung musicians missing from the concert schedules this season in Bangalore?
Is it because the hosts cannot afford some of them?
Not really.
The Bangalore Season clashes with the bigger Aradhana in Cleveland, USA which is a mela the US witnesses on the eve of the Easter season.
Over 100 artistes from Chennai and around have flown to this Mecca to perform here where thousands of rasikas flock to. The aradhana starts on April 1 and runs for about a fortnight. Over recent times, dance has gained more space in the schedule and loads of American Indian artistes are being featured through collaboration and independent ventures.
One may not see many Bangalore based artistes in the schedule and that is a shame. Curator V V Sundaram may want to start looking at a crop of talented musicians here who must also get to that stage.
