About Musiconcepts:
Musiconcepts, the organization behind the India Music Summit, is spearheaded by three, passionate-about-music and committed, former media professionals – Ambika Srivastava, Mala Sekhri and Aparna Joshi who came together with the singular aim of aiding the discovery of India’s beautifully diverse and rich musical heritage. Their thought stemmed from the concerns about India’s rich musical heritage and its traditions being diluted and no significant development of new and younger audiences. This led to the creation of the India Music Summit through which they are developing unique concepts of experiences, conversations and sounds based on the vision that India, with its vast repertoire of talent, genres and cultural depth can and will attract audiences and music lovers not just from India but around the globe. They also hope to create a culture of discovery that would allow them to embrace these traditions whilst exploring sounds and musical ideas – both new and old.
The mission of the Summit is to preserve, celebrate and promote India’s musical heritage and its aim is to nurture talent and create ‘listeners of excellence’. Visit: https://musiconcepts.in/
