The eagerly-awaited Karunbithil music workshop will be organised in Karunbithil from May 8 to 12.
The annual music workshop, launched in 2000, was held every year regularly until 2019, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The 21st workshop will be held this year, veteran violinist Vittal Ramamurthy told reporters at Hotel Ocean Pearl.

The inauguration will be held on the morning of May 8. A Guruvandana programme will be held on the evening of May 12, in the presence of senior art critic Mysuru
V Subrahmanya.
