A city based organisation which aims to promote music has decided to mark October 2 as the 'World Melody Day' during which Veena maestros Saraswati Rajgopalan and B Sivakumar will perform recitals.
"The Veena represents the confluence of the science of musical sounds and the philosophy of harmony and tranquillity - all that the Mahatma stood for. It is essential to employ this acoustic vehicle for a spiritual voyage," said V Raghurama Ayyar, Secretary-General of The Veena Foundation.
The World Melody Day will also be celebrated in Australia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, UK, Denmark and the US.
