The arties Festival returns every March and November, as a collaborative effort of NCPA and cellist Gauthier Herrmann, to bring fine Chamber music to the city. This year, the 16th edition will take place at NCPA, starting today, and feature half-French half-Brazilian Mezzo-Soprano, Yete Queiroz, who is a familiar face in the French concert circuit.

This is the artiste’s first visit to India. “It’s my first trip, and I have no idea how the audience will respond; perhaps, that’s why I am even more excited about the performance. My trip till now has been fantastic with the sights and sounds India has to offer,” shares Queiroz.
