Preserving the Aural: Archiving Music and the Performing Arts in India - Saturday 19th @ 17.30

This weekend, INTACH Bangalore celebrates World Heritage Day with a talk on music and the arts. 

The extremely talented Vikram Sampath will speak on music and the performing arts, and his work with preserving them. His talk is titled 'Preserving the Aural: Archiving Music and the Performing Arts in India.' 

Vikram Sampath is the co-founder of the Bangalore Literature Festival, author of three critically acclaimed books -- two of them on music and musicians, one on the Wodeyar Dynasty -- and the founder of the Archive of Indian Music. He is also the Director of the Southern Regional Centre of the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts. 

This is the first in an INTACH Lecture series. We are pleased to acknowledge Mr G Raghavan, a Bangalorean who is keen on preserving heritage, as the sponsor of this series.
