Varied presentations, including vocals, western classical, and popular songs, will also feature at the concert, she said. Internationally acclaimed concert pianist, conductor and composer Neecia Majolly and vocalist Girish Pradhan will participate in the event. Majolly had recently won the gold for his composition at the World Classical Music Awards. ''It has been my dream to put up a show where budding musicians get a platform to showcase their talent and also get an opportunity to learn from the performances by renowned artistes'', Phukan said. The first edition of Cadenza was held in 2013. ''Having artistes of international repute enhances the show and my young students get to learn so much from them--right from professionalism to the craft,'' she added.
