The Chennai music season in December has been attracting music lovers from all over the world for decades. Since 2009, Charsur Arts Foundation has made this experience better than ever.

With this in mind, Suresh Gopalan, Trustee of Charsur Arts Foundation commented, "We realised quite early that there would be no outdoor concerts, and even if there were, people would feel uncomfortable attending them. We want the festival to be immersive, and we believe we can achieve this through our collaboration with In.Live. Watching the concert is simple and user friendly. All you have to do is log on the website from your laptop and push play. We wanted to make the experience easy and give our users new and exclusive content available for the first time on our stream."

The platform also extends secure and integrated ticketing and viewing, which ensures that only ticket holders have access to all performances and archives. Early bird passes are available at a 50 per cent discount for a limited time period.
