Organiser Pancham-Nishad director Shashi Vyas said, “Classical Music has a niche audience. While it is a known secret that most people prefer to attend concerts of maestros like, Pt Ravi Shankar, Kishori Amonkar & Ustad Zakir Hussain amongst others. Aarohi provides a platform to these young rising stars of Indian music whereby the other organizers also get to know this untapped potential talent of the Indian music.”
