Our work

A foundation built on listening.

Founded in memory of Mahesh Lachyankar, the foundation carries forward his conviction that this music belongs to anyone willing to sit, listen, and let it work on them. We run community concerts and intimate baithaks, support young artists, and bring listeners and musicians together across New England.

"A raga is not a song. It is a mood the air agrees to hold for a little while."
