Mission

SANGEETHAAMSHA is a non-profit corporation and shall be operated exclusively for educational and charitable purposes within the meaning of Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the corresponding section of any future Federal tax code. SANGEETHAAMSHA (also referred to as The Corporation hereinbelow) shall strive, in general, to nurture, teach, produce, or provide access to a variety of arts experiences encompassing the visual, media, or performing arts, with particular intent to promote the rich heritage of the Classical Hindustani music to the young members of the community as well as the mainstream population in the U.S. Founded and operated by a group of volunteers from Silicon Valley, CA and the greater San Francisco area, SANGEETHAAMSHA’s performances are typically organized in the “Baithak” style, which provides an intimate exchange of experience between the artist and the listener. This style elevates appreciation of the music, accelerates learning, and importantly, helps interpret artist’s musical expression.
