Carnatic Quest will include the following multi-stage talent identification program -- invitation for entries – artists can send across their entries in five categories, i.e. Carnatic vocal, veena, violin, flute and percussion instruments (mridangam, ghatam and kanjeera) from across the county at https://www.hclconcerts.com/the-carnatic-quest/ till October 31.
