Over the past couple of years, we have taken several initiatives in the realms of music, sports and quizzing. A strong focus on developing the city’s culture quotient and thereby increasing its ‘liveability’ has been a part of this vision.  Courtyard Performances is our newest initiative in this space. The very first performance is by Indo-ethnotronic band, Filter Coffee. Their signature blend of music and visual imagery is sure to cut across generations and strike a chord with the audience,” said S. Chandru, COO, Mahindra World City Developers Ltd. Aside from the performance by Filter Coffee, there are several other Courtyard Performance events lined up for the coming months. These include theatre, classical and contemporary music, contemporary dance, standup comedy.
