Musical performances have gone to the online space since the pandemic's onset, and artistes from around the world have embraced technology to bring music concerts into people’s homes.
With this in mind, Suresh Gopalan, Trustee of Charsur Arts Foundation commented, “We realised quite early that there would be no outdoor concerts, and even if there were, people would feel uncomfortable attending them. We want the festival to be immersive, and we believe we can achieve this through our collaboration with In.Live. Watching the concert is simple and user friendly. All you have to do is log on the website from your laptop and push play. We wanted to make the experience easy and give our users new and exclusive content available for the first time on our stream.”
