Satish Vyas on the santoor and the vocalist, Ulhas Kashalkar, performed at Chowdiah Memorial Hall on Saturday. On Sunday, it will be the turn of the flautist, Hariprasad Chaurasia, and the vocalist, Ajoy Chakraborti.

The music festival will conclude on Monday with a jugalbandi which will see the vocalist, Pandit Jasraj, and Mr. Subramaniam himself. All concerts will begin at 6 p.m.
