The second part of the concert is a first-time partnership with the local Indian community, presenting a 45 minute feast of various genres of Indian Music, culminating in a grand spectacle of Indian dancers presenting a visual interpretation of music that blends East and West. Sujata Venkateswar, an Indian classical vocalist, is the artistic director for this segment.
