About Bharatiya Samagana Sabha

• The Bharatiya Samagana Sabha is here because it wants many many more people to appreciate, understand and love Indian classical music. Over the last fifteen years, it has made this happen in a way as beautiful and divine as our music itself.
• The Bharatiya Samagana Sabha is not just another sabha, it aspires to be the bridge between the past and the future of Indian classical music. Our greatest achievement has been to conduct a music festival every year with the prime objective of delivering classical music in its best traditions of complexity, intricacy and melody.
• The Bharatiya Samagana Sabha has made great strides in the last fifteen years in establishing itself as an institution that has promoted music and supported the cause of musicians. It has held fifteen annual festivals so far, in which veterans and upcoming artistes, have come together to perform individually as well as collectively as part of symphonies.
