The charm of classical music is ageless. In a world possessed by everything western, classical music has still managed to command the love and respect that it used to receive from audience thousands of years back in history. The ragas, the notes, the composers and the singers though, have gone through massive evolution over time. The basics of classical singing however are still the same. Learning classical music is not everybody’s cup of tea. The lovers of this art either end up great singers of musicians themselves, or, become devoted fans of the same and there is no two way about it.

Kolkata, a.k.a the city of Joy, a.k.a the cultural capital of India is known for housing the best of the Best, when it comes to Indian classical singers. There are just too many people here who love their culture to bits and wish to inculcate the same in the minds of the upcoming generations from a very early age. This is one reason why reputed institutions like ITC Sangeet Research Academy in Kolkata are stressing, upholding and spreading the cause of Indian classical music and more to the world at large. These institutions and academies are the true reflection of how serious the people of Kolkata, rather the whole of India are about their rich heritage.

While the demand for singers for classical concerts is ever increasing throughout Kolkata, the demand is also happily met because there is no dearth of masterful classical singers in this city.

It is not a hobby or a pass time, it is not an extra curricular activity or a mere interest . . . it is but, a way of life that calls for infallible focus, determination, devotion and pure love for the art. Only those willing to make a life long commitment to it can manage to make it big in the field.
