October Octaves 11th Edition – Eternal Echoes at Prestige Centre for Performing Arts Bengaluru
About the Event
October Octaves Returns to Bengaluru

October Octaves returns to Bengaluru for its 11th edition, bringing another memorable evening of music that crosses genres, generations and musical traditions.

Over the years, the concert has created a space for audiences to discover different sounds and artists while celebrating the many ways in which music can connect people. Each edition brings together distinctive musical voices and creates opportunities for listeners to experience familiar forms in fresh and engaging ways.

This year, Eternal Echoes brings together two very different musical worlds united by one common thread: songs that stay with us.

At the Prestige Centre for Performing Arts (PCPA), Bengaluru, audiences can experience the soulful energy of bhajans alongside the vibrant world of film music, brought alive by Staccato Live and ChaRitha.

From timeless devotional verses to songs that have become part of contemporary popular culture, the evening explores how music continues to create emotional connections across generations.

An evening to experience, discover and sing along.

Eternal Echoes – Where Two Musical Worlds Meet

At the heart of this year's October Octaves is Eternal Echoes, a concert bringing together contrasting yet complementary musical styles.

On one side is the energetic world of film music, represented by Staccato Live, whose arrangements bring a contemporary performance approach to popular songs.

On the other is the devotional and classical-rooted musical expression of ChaRitha, whose repertoire draws from Hindustani traditions and devotional music.

Together, the two acts create an evening that moves between different moods, sounds and traditions while keeping the emotional power of the song at its centre.

The result is a musical experience where bhajans, abhangs, popular stotras and film songs can exist within the same larger celebration of music.

Staccato Live
Modern Interpretations of Film Music

Chennai-based Staccato brings its modern interpretations of film music to the October Octaves stage.

Known for their energetic performances and innovative arrangements, the band has built a distinctive live identity through its approach to popular music.

Their performance at Eternal Echoes will add a vibrant, contemporary dimension to the evening, bringing familiar film melodies to life through dynamic arrangements and live musicianship.

Representing India on International Stages

Staccato has represented India on international stages, including the London 2012 Olympics and the World Freestyle Percussion event in Rio de Janeiro.

These experiences form part of the band's musical journey and contribute to its reputation for energetic live performances and innovative musical presentations.

At October Octaves, Staccato brings that live energy to Bengaluru, offering audiences an opportunity to experience their approach to film music in the setting of a major concert.

ChaRitha
Hindustani Roots and Devotional Music

ChaRitha is a Bengaluru-based musical duo comprising Chandana Muralidhara and Supreetha Pradeep.

The duo brings together their Hindustani roots and love for devotional music, creating a musical experience centred around expressive vocals, traditional influences and familiar devotional compositions.

Their repertoire includes bhajans, abhangs and popular stotras, offering a soulful contrast to the energetic film-music performance by Staccato Live.

Music That Invites You to Sing Along

ChaRitha's performance also includes plenty of spontaneous jamming, creating the kind of atmosphere where audiences can find themselves singing along before they even realise it.

This element of spontaneity adds a sense of intimacy to the performance and allows the evening to move naturally between carefully selected pieces and moments of musical improvisation.

The result is a devotional music experience that feels both rooted in tradition and alive in the present.

From Timeless Verses to Songs of Our Time

One of the defining ideas behind Eternal Echoes is the relationship between old and new.

Devotional compositions have travelled across generations, carrying stories, emotions and spiritual ideas through music. Film songs, meanwhile, have become an important part of contemporary popular culture, often creating memories that remain with listeners for years.

Bringing these forms together creates a shared space where timeless verses meet songs of our time.

The evening celebrates the ability of music to take on new meaning depending on when, where and how it is experienced. A familiar melody can sound different in a concert hall, while a traditional composition can find renewed energy through a contemporary live performance.

The Magic of Live Music

There is something uniquely powerful about hearing a familiar song performed live.

Eternal Echoes is built around that idea. The evening brings together songs from different traditions and eras, allowing each performance to create its own atmosphere while contributing to the larger musical journey.
