The Music Room is an unique project highlighting maestros from South Asia but as well producing five fundraising events bringing music lovers together to support Music Basti, a non-for-profit organization empowering hundreds of "street children" from India through the media of music. HarmoNYom will donate 10% of all revenues to Music Basti as part of the fundraisings!
In the Music Room, we aim to push the envelope even further. We are moving beyond borders to celebrate the richness and heritage of Indian Classical Music by returning to one of South Asia’s most revered traditions of the past. Come join us as we recreate the magic of the Baithak!
