LearnQuest Academy of Music proudly presents its fourth annual music conference
featuring some of the very best of Indian Classical Music, in Hindustani and Carnatic styles.
We gratefully acknowledge the support of music aficionados, volunteers, donors and
patrons of Indian Classical Music in the New England area and across the U.S. who made the past
three music conferences from 2006 to 2008 a resounding success. Our sincere thanks to all!
While there has been no dearth of great masters visiting the Boston area, we intend to serve the
community by taking the listening and appreciation of music to the next level. To this end, our goal
is to present authentic Indian classical music the way it is practiced and enjoyed in India through
multi-day classical music festivals (Sangeet Sammelans) and conferences. This is an attempt at creating
an Indian Sangeet Sammelan-like environment that would cater to all music lovers, both the aficionado
as well as the uninitiated. Our goal is to present the famous and established artists, as well as
promising rising stars of Indian classical music.
