MTV India Music Summit 2018: SOI Chamber Orchestra, Pt Channulal Mishra to perform on final day of festival

Over three power-packed days celebrating the diverse genres of music in the country and beyond, the MTV India Music Summit presented performances and discussions by some world-renowned artists including Shankar Mahadevan, Shujaat Khan, Aruna Sairam, Robin Barnes and others. As the summit draws to a close on Sunday, 14 October, 2018, it will feature an orchestra, a workshop and a flute recital on the final day. The Flute Sisters, Suchismita and Debopriya Chatterjee will open the third day of the event with a morning recital, Blowing in the Wind. Growing up, music was a part of their lives and in their teenage years, their flute training blossomed under the tutelage of Pt Hariprasad Chaurasia. At a time when women flutists raised eyebrows, the sister-duo, in fact, pursued their passion for the musical instrument and toured across the world with their guru.
