On the second day the programme opened with Dr Prabha Atre's vocal performance, followed by Milind Raikar on the violin, promising young singer Savani Shende, and culminated with a masterly exposition on the santoor by Pt Shivkumar Sharma.

The programme was presented by well known vocalist Prabha Atre, who was also felicitated his contribution to music for the past 50 years. The Chief gueston the first day was Suresh Prabhu, Union Cabinet Minister for chemicals and fertilisers, while Union Minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises and ex-CM of Maharashtra, Manohar Joshi was chief minister on the second evening. Manohar Joshi also released a musical offering in cassette form by Prabha Atre

The Rotary Club President speaking about the purpose of organising such a festival, said that it was for the financing of the community and social service activities of the club, that they have been organising this festival for the last nine years. Talking to the huge crowd, performer Ustad Dilshad Khan said that he now realises why it is said that classical music would not survive without Maharashtrians.

However, the programme on both days had to closed rather abruptly, due to police regulation on public performances. The audience left reminiscing about earlier performances which used to run right into the next morning.
