Bengaluru, 6th December, 2022: As the year winds down to a close it’s time to slow down, pause and revel in the bounty of the season. Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru has curated a special evening of Jazz, Ballet and the traditional Tree Lighting Ceremony on Thursday, 8th of December 2022 with the spirit of giving as its cornerstone.
The evening opens with the traditional tree lighting ceremony at CUR8, a ceremonial usherer of the festive season. The Grand Ballroom then becomes the venue for a scintillating evening of ballet by Love Kotiya, an exceptional 17-year old talent from Faridabad, India, who has trained in classical ballet at the Imperial Fernando Ballet Company (IFBC) in New Delhi under the Argentine Maestro, Fernando Aguilera and Penelope Scarian, an Italian dancer and graduate of ENBS, from Imperial Fernando Ballet Company.
Interspersed with the ballet performances, there will be soulful music by MoonArra Jazz Trio followed by a celebration of food and beverage curated by by the chefs and mixologists of Four Seasons.
‘Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru is delighted to be showcasing an evening of culture and art for a noble cause. Our traditional tree lighting ceremony will open an elegant evening of festive celebrations with a befitting signing off on the culinary side, by our team of talented chefs. It is our constant endeavour to create memorable experiences for our guests and this evening will be the perfect way to draw a curtain on this year.’
Reuben Kataria, General Manager
About Love Kotiya
Love Kotiya is a 17-year-old ballet dancer from the Imperial Fernando Ballet Company (IFBC) in New Delhi, India. A few months ago he auditioned for and was accepted to the English National Ballet School. This may sound unremarkable but, nothing short of a leap to a different universe for this young lad from Faridabad, in the outskirts of New Delhi. Until two years ago he had never been in a ballet studio or a theatre, let alone on a plane or in a foreign country. His mother is a widow who makes a modest living as domestic worker, and a
ballet training would have been completely out of his league. Yet, he was spotted by a generous teacher, Maestro Fernando Aguilera who saw passion and potential in this young boy. He trained with diligence every day, from morning to evening, through lockdowns and uncertainty, to reach the level he’s arrived at. His talent shone during a visit to London and he was accepted at the prestigious English National Ballet School. However, the yearly fees of 20,000 pounds still seems unattainable, except for the generosity of donors who are inspired by his talent.
