We are at Vani Kala Kendra's festival venue, a school campus in Basaweshwaranagar.
Here, every evening the curator of this fest, Keshav allots 45minutes to a snappy concert by youngsters.
The recitals are attended by a handful of people, mostly family and friends of the artistes on stage. But for the artistes performing at the Vani stage, the recital adds weight to their biodata. It can make an impression on other festival hosts. And it can encourage the talents.
Keshav says he draws up his list for the Sri Ramanavami season over the year; most artistes are alumni of the Vani group of schools where the arts is given much space and time.
Others too apply and get a nod.
