About KalaSudha in Nashik
Indian classical music in Nashik (Nasik) has a civic home for performance in Mahakavi Kalidas Kala Mandir, the city's auditorium, which hosts cultural events, plays and music concerts, the Free Press Journal reported in February 2024.
Tabla and sitar learners in Nashik can study on KalaSudha's online courses, which teach every other discipline too, and KalaSudha's levels prepare learners to sit Gandharva Mahavidyalaya exams. Foundation is assessed through practical work and spoken questions, and your instructor closes each topic only after reviewing your work. Intermediate adds written theory, and Advanced adds theory papers and a judged stage performance. A KalaSudha certificate or diploma closes each level, and workshops and summer camps come to Nashik once enough learners there sign up. Learners of any teacher, in any country, can also ask KalaSudha for an assessment against its skill milestones.
KalaSudha presents concerts, among them the Kala Festival, a touring festival, and releases recordings and concert videos that play online. Families and companies anywhere in the world book its musicians.
