Explaining the reasons behind choosing B Jayshree for the first edition of the event, Kulkarni says that since she is an acclaimed artiste in her field, she was an obvious choice for the debut event. "Besides she has received several awards in Classical music," he adds.
After every six months, one artiste or group will be chosen to perform at the event, which is free for all.
