Get ready for the Chennai Music Season, the biggest Carnatic music festival

If you are in Chennai or are planning to go to Chennai this month, there’s the Chennai Music Season (earlier known as Madras Music Season) you can be a part of. It is the biggest Carnatic music festival in town and one of the oldest cultural festivals in India. The music festival was first created in 1927!

This year, the festival is going to be from December 15, 2022, to January 1, 2023, in Chennai, and will see several professional and amateur Carnatic artists. These performances by the renowned artists are something you don’t get to see often these days, so if you are a fan of Carnatic music, the festival is a good place to experience this. Several new artists are expected to get a chance to show the world their skill.



Chennai Music Season is a great way to attract tourists to Chennai. Chennai in December is a lot more pleasant than the rest of the year, hence, it is easier to explore the city minus the heat.


What makes the Chennai Music Season such a big and popular event?
Did you know that once for decades, the music festival used to showcase only Carnatic music. But with time, that changed. Now, along with the Carnatic musical performances, one will also get to see colourful dances and plays from not only the region but also from other parts of the country.
