Musical events and concerts rejuvenate one’s mind. A music lover should indulge himself in such concerts to become more acquainted about the subject. Gathering more knowledge about a topic of your interest is surely not a wasted time. As it is rightly said by Danielle LaPorte, the bestselling Canadian author, “If knowledge is power then curiosity is the muscle,” which means knowledge can be achieved by whatever possible means. Events are held in every corner of the world daily. But grabbing an opportunity that knocks your door is a great pride.

A most popular event is wandering around in Pune since many days. But now it has taken a platform to showcase the artists from around the world on December 7.

The most popular Indian classical event, organized by Sangeet Prasarak Mandal named Sawai Gandharwa Bhimsen Mahotsav has made its set back in the city. This festival is held annually and this year the event will be held from December 7 to December 11.

The Sawai Gandharva Bhimsen Mahotsav is one of the biggest festivals of classical music in India, organized every year in Pune since 1953.

This musical festival was named as Sawai Gandharwa Mahotsav, but after the demise of Bharat Ratna Pt. Bhimsen Joshi, the festival has been renamed to Sawai Gandharwa Bhimsen Mahotsav since 2015. This is the 64^th year of this mega music fest, which enjoys patronage of music lovers from all around the world. The Arya Sangeet Prasarak Mandal has decided to hold it for 5 days in this particular year, instead of 4. Hence the audiences, especially the music lovers, get an opportunity to utilize these days with full zeal and enthusiasm.

A session of the festival which is generally conducted on a Sunday morning has been cancelled this year. Thus, the festival will span over five days and all
sessions will be conducted in the evening.

So Punekars, get set, tie your shoe laces and drive away for the event at New English School, Ramanbaug from 4pm to 10pm. You get an opportunity to experience the live performance of the great artists.

Following is the schedule of the event.
7th December 2016 (Day 1 Timing: 4 pm to 10 pm)
