Music lovers are in for a treat, as the ninth edition of the

London International Arts Festival

(

LIAF

) is being staged online. Curated by Bengaluru-based violinist

Jyotsna Srikanth

, the online musical festival features a lineup of artistes from India, UK, Sweden and Austria.

About the festival, Jyotsna says, "LIAF 2020 celebrates many cultures of the global music scene, with an emphasis on South Indian music - Carnatic and allied forms around it. Over the years, we have had several renowned musicians from across the world - including India - perform. This year, because of the pandemic, the festival is online and concerts are being streamed from the artiste's respective countries. From Bengaluru, we have artistes like Vasu Dixit, Sitar Symphony, Mysore Chandan Kumar, Sampagodu Vighnaraja and Manju Drums Collective, among others, performing at the festival."

She adds, "In addition to the Indian lineup of artistes, there will be

Lena Jonsson

trio from Sweden, who will be playing traditional Nordic music,

Julia Siedl Trio

from Austria who will play jazz and more." Safe to say, there's music for everyone at LIAF, which goes on till December 13.
