For two years, piano competition and festival Con Brio has been giving several young Indian musicians a platform to learn and perform alongside international pianists. Started by pianist Parvesh Java (right), in association with music store Furtado’s, the third edition of Con Brio will feature performances for lovers of pure Western Classical and those who prefer diverse music.

Flautist Shirish Malhotra (seen here with pianist Mark Troop) will be one of the local artists performing at Con Brio this year
