Mumbai, 23 Nov 2025
On Sunday, 23 November 2025, the immensely gifted Vidya Harikrishna, founder of VACM (Vidya’s Academy of Classical Music) welcomed a vibrant community of music lovers to a truly memorable Musical Adda she hosted in Mumbai. Friends, family and students of her music academy streamed in all evening and enjoyed an event to remember.
And oh, what magic! Being a Music Adda, it was music that ruled the evening. A trained Carnatic vocalist, Vidya set the tone with her soulful invocation and the evening only grew brighter as the powerhouse band of young musicians Anirudh Iyer- Vocal, Bhushan Chavan- Guitar, Bharat Sundar Rajan- Keyboards, Prajeeth Nair – Tabla and handsonic joined her to transform the room to an eclectic mix of Hindi film favorites, Tamil chartbusters and stirring Sufi melodies.
Foot-tapping? Absolutely. Heart-warming? Without a doubt. Unforgettable? 100%.
From all of us at Friends of Max, a huge thank you for a meaningful evening filled with chai, delicious samosas, shared stories and heartfelt cancer conversations.
A special shoutout to everyone who contributed to the cause with such generosity, who made the evening more special.
Thank you for joining us to #raiseyourcup and #DrinkToACause bringing #hopeanddignity to patients living with cancer and on lifelong treatment.
And Thank You Vidya Harikrishna for all the efforts you put in. We will always remain grateful.
