The Chhandayan All-Night concert has been a long-standing annual tradition featuring eminent Indian artists in a unique format that allows the performance of late-night and early morning ragas. We are now organizing this year’s event for the mid-October Columbus Day weekend. This event will be co-produced by Chhandayan, the Williams Center for the Arts, Viewcy and For the Artists By the Artists and also partially funded by National Endowment for the Arts.. As we get closer to the event we will provide more information on the precise artists and performance schedule. The event will be held at the Rutherford Center and also streamed live.
