What is the definition of a place cut out for performance? How is a place with so much hope and life lesser than one with great sound? We are greeted with a volley of questions, much before we start on ours. Then again, that is Magsaysay awardee TM Krishna's specialty.

In the city for a performance, at the Keneseth Eliyahoo Synagogue that receives the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Award of Merit, he kicks of Concerts for Peace in partnership with city-based First Edition Arts and support from the JSW group. It isn't the first time Krishna is performing at a religious space, and he believes this has become the need of the hour.
