A quick glance at its history would reveal that there is no dearth in the names of Indian Classical Music maestros, when it comes to Dover Lane.
This year, the inauguration took place on 22nd January amidst the Shehnai session of Hassan Haider Khan, son of Ali Ahmed Khan, and the vocal presentation of Pandit Jasraj. Yes, this year, after a 15-year hiatus when the performances ran throughout the night, the event was inaugurated in the morning. However the rest of the program was scheduled in the evening as usual.
