Margazhi Kutcheri Season / Margazhi Music Festival

Event Details:

Charsur Arts Foundation – a not-for-profit foundation created to support, promote, and propagate Carnatic music throughout the world. The foundation has been hosting a series of events to promote Carnatic music, especially during the Tamil month of Margazhi (corresponding to December-January), a time of music and devotion. Renowned for being a treasure trove of performances strewn across the city of Chennai, people flock to these music festivals from across the country, whether young or old, well-versed or newly acquainted.

This year, to celebrate the Margazhi music season, CharSur, in partnership with US-based In. Live – an online live-streaming platform that uses technology to create moments that envelop artists and fans using the power of live performances – will be hosting 30 concerts that will be streamed during the music season from the 15th-31st of December. A first-of-its-kind offering for Carnatic music, yearly festival-goers can catch the magic on the device of their choice, as well as lecture-demonstrations and live interviews with the artists.
