 Mission

How we do it?

Although documentation is available for Indian Classical music, it is theoretical at best. While in other genres, where music is on the notes, Indian music is said to be found in between the swars. Raags have their unique personalities and emotions. These abstract ideas are very difficult to grasp from the documentation that exists today. For example: audio examples are critical in explaining concepts such as raag chalan, aandolan, bhaav, etc. Our aim is to make the wealth of knowledge available to all in the form of rich audio/visual documentation that is easier to comprehend. Capturing the essence of Hindustani music using multimedia documentation will improve the learning experience. 

While we have a dream to educate the world, we also educate individual students and our local communities. We train students with rigor and passion, enabling them to be musicians or music connoisseurs of the future. To cultivate and develop the understanding of Hindustani music in the community, we organize concerts, workshops, and lecture demonstrations by renowned artists and musicologists. We experiment and collaborate with musicians from other genres to share our music with the world and bring communities together.  

We take this to the under privileged children to bring awareness among them and also provide free training and scholarships for those who wish to learn and take up music as a career.

We also work with sick children with the hope that the healing qualities of Indian Classical music help them in healing in every way.

At Kalashree,  we believe in championing and promoting talented aspiring musicians. We provide a launch pad to young artists by organizing concerts to showcase their talent. In doing so we help keep our rich Hindustani Classical tradition alive.
