Featuring names like saxophonists Kadri Gopalnath (Carnatic) and George Brooks (Jazz) on the same stage for the first time, the eighth edition of the Splendor of Masters concert organised by Banyan Tree, promises to have a lot in store for music lovers. “These are combinations that people have never seen before. The idea of this festival is to bring together masters who gel based on their style, music, temperaments and the sounds of their instruments. The chemistry between the artistes and their perfect creative synergy is what makes each act special,” says Nandini Mahesh, concert organiser. The festival started it’s journey with Bengaluru this month and will travel to Mumbai this weekend, followed by Delhi later in the month.
