Led by flautist and maestro Vivek Sonar, the performances in the two-day festival include Krishna Priya, a thematic Kathak performance by Aditi Bhagwat and Sonar, followed by a vocal recital by Meeta Pandit. 

The highlight will be a musical showcase by 100 flautists across all age groups. While Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia will conclude the proceedings on the first day with a rare performance, the second day will witness Shubha Mudgal and Aneesh Pradhan add the finishing touches.
