Rahul Sharma, exponent Santoor and fusion music</td></tr></tbody></table>What are you planning for your performance? Sharma: I don't plan beforehand; I choose my music on the day of the performance. But I will be playing something special. In the first half, it will be classical music followed by light classical music. Do you think this will be a special experience? Sharma: This is the first time I will be performing at the festival and I am looking forward to it.u00a0 What do you think about the crowds in Pune?
