World Music Day 2024

World Music Day 2024 🎶
Music is truly one of God’s greatest gifts to this world. From the sounds of the wind, to the calls of nature; from the beating of our hearts to the rhythm of our walk; from the songs of the village folk to the ragas of the scriptures–music is everywhere, in everything, a part of our every day, filling every moment. There is nowhere we can go to escape all the music has to offer. This is why Indian scriptures have given music the highest place among the 64 fine arts.
In honor of World Music Day, we asked the students of Sur Sangat to introspect and inquire what music means to them & how it makes them feel!
Featured students in order: Rohit, Isha, Dhyani, Derek, Divisha, Aarav, Sitara, Saina, Mathura, Prisha, Prachi, Vihana, VudayaRagini, Manan, Samidh, Geeta, Mantr
