A live TM Krishna concert can now be streamed from anywhere. The only requirement is a screen and of course, social media. The Carnatic vocalist will be taking to social media on June 12 to interact and share music with all. The programme titled The Dropbox Concert hopes to be an informal mix of song requests, conversation starters and and cameos. Scheduled to be held on Facebook and Instagram, the live will be accessible to all. This particular live session is also part of his attempts to raise funds for artistes displaced financially during the pandemic. “It’s absolutely open. I hope to have all my reference books open because I don’t know what people will be asking,” he says adding, “I am trying to keep it as personal as possible.” The audience can share thoughts and also request specific songs which will be performed. “A few young artistes would also come in and go as cameos.” Vyasarpadi Kothandaraman (nadaswaram), Bharat Sundar (vocals), Sumesh Narayanan (mridangam), Brinda Manickavasagam (vocals) and N Guruprasad (ghatam) are the artistes who will make their appearances with a set or a song.More Related News
