Live Music & Concerts in Trivandrum
1 events coming up across Thiruvananthapuram — mostly music (1).
Music in Trivandrum starts with the classical tradition. The Swathi Sangeethotsavam fills the courtyard of Kuthiramalika Palace from 4 to 13 January with free concerts of Swathi Thirunal's compositions, the Navarathri Mandapam beside it hosts nine evenings of music at Navaratri, and the Soorya Festival's music segment runs in the autumn. Recitals at Vyloppilli Samskrithi Bhavan and Bharat Bhavan, most of them free, fill the weeks in between. Film-music nights, ghazal evenings and touring stage shows use Nishagandhi Auditorium, Tagore Theatre and Central Stadium, and Onam week puts playback singers on free stages across the city. Bands and indie acts play at the Kerala Arts and Crafts Village, at Kovalam and Varkala in season and informally on Manaveeyam Veedhi. This page lists concerts, recitals and gigs across Thiruvananthapuram, updated daily.
