The first concert on January 24 was a flute recital by ENT specialist Dr Ramakanth Katti, accompanied by Vijay Kumar Panchal on the tabla and Ramu Vedma on the flute. “They simply asked us the date of launch their encouragement gave the initiative a flying start,” says Akhilesh acknowledging the support of members Pritesh Patil and Prashant Sardeshmukh and volunteers who begin their day at 4 am on concert days. In January this year when the number of COVID-19 cases dipped, Akhilesh - who has been part of SPICMACAY ‘s early morning concerts at Public Gardens and Gudi Sambaraalu performances at Indira Park - met members of the Walker’s Association at Melkote Park. “In 2020, we organised around 300 virtual shows, but nothing came close to a live performance,” says Akhilesh. The initiative stemmed from onscreen fatigue.
