Scheduled to be held at the Veer Savarkar Auditorium here on August 16-17, day one of the festival will be dedicated to Tabla maestro Ustad Nizamuddin Khan and day two will pay a tribute to prominent musician, Krishnarao Pandit, said a statement.
"It is an honor to share the stage with some of India's biggest classical singers at the 18th edition of the prestigious Krishna Rao Festival. The festival is an attempt to celebrate the spirit of Indian classical music and I feel proud to be a part of this celebration.
"I would like to thank Taj Mahal Tea and Khayal Trust for this opportunity and hope they continue to support artists by collaborating with various music platforms across the country," said Patil.
