The stage at The Secret Garden, a recently launched venue at NCPA, is going to get mighty packed this weekend. The Whole Notes, a fresh new musical outfit with 11 artistes, is going to play their debut gig. And the curious thing about this band is that along with members who are in their 20s — the oldest of the lot, Danesh AR Khambat, is 32 — there are four girls who are as young as 12, 13 and 15 years of age.

They are The Ramakrishnan Trio — consisting of violinist Aaliya, pianist Nisha and cellist Naima, who are sisters — and viola player Aliza Jetha, their friend. Each of them has been playing her own instrument for almost a decade now (Jetha first picked up the viola when she was two). So, if you were to think that their lack of years is a hindrance to their musical prowess, you would possibly be judging a book by its cover.
