Republic Day, which marks the adoption of Indias Constitution in 1950, is an important national holiday in India and is celebrated with parades, performances, and other cultural events. For the Vasudev brothers, the opportunity to perform the national anthem on the violin was a meaningful way to honor this special day and connect with their roots. “We are so grateful to have the opportunity to celebrate Indias traditions and culture and to share them with others through our music,” said Eshaan. “It is truly an honor to contribute to the celebration of Republic Day in this way.”
Krish is an 11th-grade student, and Eshaan is a 9th-grade student. In addition to their dedication to music, the Vasudev brothers are also passionate about academics and community service. They regularly volunteer at local non-profit organizations. The brothers love for music and their cultural heritage is integral to who they are, and their performance on Republic Day reflects that.
