New Delhi: As a whirlwind of literary heavyweights prepare to descend on the ZEE Jaipur Literature Festival, like every year, an eclectic mix of music artists are also set to perform during the mornings and late evenings at the five-day extravaganza.
Opening the festival at Diggi Palace on January 19 will be the Shillong Chamber Choir, event organiser Teamwork Arts said.
Founded in 2001, the multi-genre choir won reality TV show India’s Got Talent in 2010 and in the same year picked up three gold medals at the 6th World Choir Games.
Its wide repertoire from Western classical favourites to rock hits and Khasi folk music and opera has seen them perform across India, including for US President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama during their state visit to India.
Besides, the festival will also feature ticketed “Musical evenings” by leading bands including Shillong’s own Soulmate. (IANS)
