The NCPA presents the 28th edition of Artie’s Festival this month. The programming for the festival is always curated by Gauthier Herrmann and NCPA Chairman Mr. Khushroo N. Suntook. It will include well-known masterpieces, relatively lesser-known music and reductions of famous orchestral works.

Herrmann discovered India in 2001 as a young solo cellist—only to return soon after, first with his Trio con Fuoco, and later, with the Neemrana Quartet. By then, the seeds of Artie’s Festival had been sown, and in March 2008, the first concerts of the festival took place at the NCPA. Since then, this event has travelled to other parts of Southeast Asia, Central Asia, the Gulf and, of course, all over Europe.
