, who has taken the initiative and will also be performing in the concert, says, “The Coronavirus pandemic has hit the artists of all fields really hard. Whether it is the weavers, sculptors, painters or even artistes from the field of music, everyone is fighting for their survival. It is our duty to help them as these artisans constitute the cultural heritage of our country which we should preserve. So we have planned this nearly two-hour concert on June 14 from 6.30 pm onwards. All the artists have sent video recordings of their performances, which we will be streaming from our social media page. The underlying message of this concert is to urge people to donate for the cause of the artistes.”
