The upcoming program will pay homage to revered Indian composers and poets through a series of choreographed performances.

“Our heartfelt gratitude to the precious children and parents of Bhargavi Bharata Natyalaya, Board members of Bhargavi Arts Academy, volunteers and Sponsors for their unwavering support as always,” organizers said.

The performance is supported in part by a grant from the Burien Arts Commission, which aims to enhance cultural opportunities for residents.
