Sangeet Sankalp

SANGEET SANKALP :: "Sangeet Sankalp" was established on 22nd January, 1989 with its headquaters in Delhi. At present more than 40 branches of "Sangeet Sankalp" are active all over the country. "Sangeet Sankalp" is not merely an organization, it is rather a movement of dedicated musicians.

The Main Objectives:

To provide a platform to all those committed artists and students of music who are constantly striving towards recognition and fame in this field.

To organise a forum where all the subtle nuances, issues and other matters relating to Indian classical music both theoretical and practical be studied, evaluated, discussed or analysed through various seminars, symposia, group discussions, meetings, conventions etc.

To provide a place to musicians, music lovers and artists to come together and form a music community for the betterment of the art and to have direct interaction with listeners.

To make efforts for the talented artists of "Sankalp" to get a chance to perform at prestigious and established music festivals.

Sangeet Sankalp is a non-profit co-operative society of artistes, by artistes, for the promotion of talented upcoming professional artistes and amateurs, across the country.

It was formed mainly with the intention of combating the trend of ‘consumerism’ in the field of music that merely recognized ‘star’ artistes as opposed to true pundits or devout practitioners.

It has been functioning in India for the last 17 years, with over 95 branches and 11,000 members (of which there are 1000 artistes) spread across the length and breadth of the country. It has conducted more than 700 programmes so far.

The idea came about in a casual discussion that Dr. Mukesh Garg (editor of the famous music journal Sangeet) was having with his friends about a decade ago. The wide-spread consumerism and commercialization of music was making it difficult for lesser known artistes, who had nevertheless dedicated their lives towards the practice and learning of music. It was to alleviate this hierarchical star system, and to provide an alternative platform for highly talented artistes, that Sangeet Sankalp was started. In no time, the seed that was sown in Meerut, grew into an active country-wide ‘music revolution’.

With monthly concerts featuring local artistes, and an annually held National programmes featuring both local as well as artistes from various other branches, Sangeet Sankalp is a forum that promotes cultural exchange among the diverse styles of Indian classical music.
