High-quality recording, better concert ambience and aesthetics have drawn a good response to the virtual music festival, says N. Murali, president of the Academy
Encouraged by the response to its virtual concerts last year, the Music Academy has not only increased the duration and concerts, but also added lecture demonstrations for its 95th Annual Music Festival to be held between December 20 and 31.
“High-quality recording, better concert ambience and aesthetics have attracted a good response to the virtual music festival. We have teamed up with Shaale, one of the best platforms, for hosting the events and marketing. We are even sending personal emails to the fans who have opted for our concerts,” said N. Murali, president of the Academy.
The festival will be inaugurated by Soumya Swaminathan, Chief Scientist, World Health Organisation (WHO), on December 20.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
