The semi-final round of the competition will feature pianists chosen from all over the India during the Selection Round in January. This year’s semi-finalists are Aditya Deshpande, Nakul Jogdeo, Priya Ann Fernandes, Saurabh Godbole, Sonam Lodhi and Srikanth Gnanasekaran. Each of their programmes will be children’s stories which will be told through pieces written for and about children. The participants have put in a great deal of effort into constructing their programmes and we encourage you to come and support them.
