About Swaranjali
Swaranjali is an organization for the promotion of Indian music and its budding artists. The organization is a collective of students of Indian classical Music & Dance, aimed at providing them a platform to exchange knowledge about the various disciplines, styles and encourage collaboration. Swaranjali organizes concerts for students several times in a year to nurture talent by creating a performance space.
Indian classical music has an unbroken musical tradition in the world. Indian music, also known as “Sangeet” consists of vocal music, instrumental music and dance. “Raag” and “Taal” define the present-day Indian music streams of Hindustani Sangeet and Carnatic Sangeet. There are many musical instruments that are peculiar to India and many others without due recognition. Indian music is believed to be developed from the Vedas, through a complex interaction between people from diverse races and cultures. However, Indian youth are increasingly being driven away from Indian classical music due to the wave of western influence. In contrast, people outside India are becoming more receptive to classical music forms. To revive Indian classical music within the country, Swaranjali provides music appreciation and learning courses. Additionally, it encourages a contemporary approach to performance and delivery rather than the traditional style of presentation to better connect with the changing diaspora of audience. To uphold India’s unbroken musical traditions.
Swaranjali has organized many concerts of Indian classical Music and Dance in various cities in India. Every year Swaranjali host – “Gharana Festival” to motivate the classical artist and also to promote the young artist talents among us.
