The Neemrana Music Foundation

CURATOR

Situated in New Delhi, The Neemrana Music Foundation is a non-profit organisation promoting Western Classical Music in India. The mission of the foundation is to disseminate lyrical and symphonic repertoires in India and to mould young singers and musicians into professional artists. Each season, The Neemrana Music Foundation produces or coproduces a staged version of an opera as well as a series of concerts that are presented in major cities of India: New Delhi, Kolkata, and Mumbai. In light of its mission to teach Western classical music, the Foundation has created several vocal groups and choirs including among under-privileged children.

Every year it offers scholarships to young Indian talents to enable them to study abroad. All professional artistes invited for operas and concerts are also involved in conducting educational sessions. Young students of the Foundation thus have the opportunity to benefit from their teachings and some are then selected to participate in professional productions as soloists or choir singers.
