Cultural Capital has no liking for music, lit gatherings
Mysuru: The city, hailed as the Cultural Capital of the state, is grappling with a unique challenge as artists and organisers witness a sharp decline in audiences for cultural events, including theatre performances, music concerts, and literary gatherings. This dwindling attendance at performances has sparked concerns about the future of cultural activities in the city. Artists and organisers note that the younger generation has largely distanced itself from cultural spaces and activities. Organisers report that literary events and cultural programmes lacking prominent names struggle to draw public interest, often resulting in performances before empty seats. Consequently, many organisers are shifting their focus to educational institutions, where students form a captive audience. Stakeholders attribute this trend to various factors. Indian classical music promoter Himamshu CR, involved in several music events and organisations, confirmed this trend, stating that today's audiences prefer concerts featuring well-known artists. "The music scene in Bengaluru is far more vibrant compared to Mysuru in terms of audience engagement," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo "We can't get star artists every time. For others, the response is not encouraging," Himamshu, who is the grand-nephew of celebrated violinist Pitil Chowdaiah, said. Dasara offers opportunity to build interest: Music promoter He further noted that the Dasara festival in Mysuru offers an excellent opportunity to foster public interest in music and draw crowds to such events. "Unfortunately, poor planning by authorities has squandered this platform. There is an urgent need to cultivate interest in music among the public," he emphasised. KS Shivaramu, president of Mysuru Taluk Kannada Sahitya Parishat, admitted that literary events are experiencing a severe shortage of attendees and readers. "Both writers and readers share responsibility for this decline. As the quality of writing and books diminishes, readers are drifting away from these events," he said. Literary environment absent: Satish Javaregowda T Satish Javaregowda, president of Spandana Samskrutika Parishat, pointed to multiple reasons for this trend. "The literary environment is absent in today's schools and colleges, which has hindered efforts to spark interest in fine arts and literary activities among the youth," he said. He added, "Many organisers also lack discipline in managing literary events, which negatively impacts other cultural programmes as well. " Actor and theatre director Mandya Ramesh highlighted that the current education system fails to connect students with theatre, arts, and music. "To address this, our schools, colleges, and universities must prioritise engaging students in these fields," he urged. Sudarshan MD, assistant director of the Kannada and culture department, noted that fine arts activities struggled to attract audiences during the Covid-19 period. "However, the situation has since improved," he said.
