This All-night Concert of Indian Classical Music is intended to heal the wounds of the September 11th incident, which is still maiming our minds. The music of the night is also intended to relieve us from the stress and inertia caused by the recent Covid pandemic. We are almost out of it. Yet, there is still fear and concern about it. That is why we have chosen this spacious venue, so that we can be spread out and feel safe. All arrangements, including distribution of food will be done keeping public safety in mind. 
 
This is a continuation of Chhandayan's tradition of presenting All-night concerts in NYC for the past 20 years.
