How a platform is making Indian classical music more accessible

Live Mint  

There has been a lot of discussion in the past few years about the need to connect younger audiences with classical music, while also promoting emerging talent. Sundar Mahalingam, who leads the initiative, spoke to Lounge about the learnings from the two-decade-long journey: In the last 25 years, how has the interest in Indian classical music evolved? The inclusion of little bit of jazz or other forms of international music, while retaining the core of Indian classical music, has worked well. We have been doing some experimentation, having separate concerts for those who love fusion music, and for people who want to enjoy Indian classical music in its pure form. Have younger generations' become more interested in Indian classical music in the last decade?
