"We didn't want to go the rock route or pop route because there is a difference between a beach front and river front. When you think of the beach, the fun aspect comes to mind, while serenity comes to mind when you talk of a river front. The idea was to mix and match different music and dance genres so that it has a concert feel. The USP is the riverfront," CEO of the E Factor Entertainment, Samit Garg, who is the curator of the event, was quoted as saying by IANS.
The event will be covering a wide range of genres. Audience can experience Indian classical, Western classical music (orchestral), Bollywood, global fusion, folk music, contemporary world music and many more.
