The 12th Annual Music and Dance Festival of Trinity Arts Festival of India got under way at the Sri Chandrasekarendra Saraswathi Hall of RR Sabha in Mylapore on Wednesday.
Speaking at the inaugural session, former Governor of West Bengal M.K. Narayanan said whatever may be the difficulties that the world goes through, music and dance would remain with people. Each of the recipients had carved out a niche for themselves and would provide a great deal of happiness and satisfaction.
He presented the lifetime achievement awards to Chairman, Kasturi & Sons, N. Ravi and Bharathanatyam Guru and choreographer Rhadha.
He recalled Mr. Ravi’s contribution when he served as a member of the National Advisory Council.
In his acceptance speech, Mr. Ravi said The Hindu had always been covering art and culture and a separate section had begun in the 1960s.
He said it was heartening to note that the interest in art and culture was growing among youngsters.
