Music Academy unveils
a treasure
One thousand hours of digitised
music available in its archives.
Talking about the long journey towards
forming his collection, Mr. Chari said: “Collectors of music are a peculiar
lot. They form a closed circle and do not allow others to get in.”
Over three decades he convinced various guardians to part with their gems
and managed a collection of around 6,000 hours of music. “It was equally
difficult to index all of it,” he said, a task in which his brother R.V.
Gopalan helped. The Tag Corporation bore the cost of the equipment and
facilities of the library.

Turya
Classical is a fine blend between east and west, a musical intercultural
project from Romania dedicated to spread Classical Music on string instruments.
It was created by Victor Marius Beliciu and Anne Marie Ene in 2008. The
music is a fusion of two cultures, Indian Classical Music and Western Classical
Music. Turya Classical offers an authentical music presented at its purest
form on instruments like violin, sitar, swarmandal, tanpura and tabla.
Beliciu Victor Marius is a Romanian
sitarist belonging to the Senia Gharana tradition. Trained initially
in Budapest, Hungary under professor Andras Kozma, he was fortunate to
learn from the World Renowned sitar maestro, Pandit Debu Chaudhuri, the
great legend of the Senia Tradition, which has been named after Mian Tansen
the doyen of the Indian Classical Music.
Anne Marie Ene, graduated with a
diploma in violin and toured Europe extensivley. Since 1996, she has made
India her home in order to acquire a deeper understanding of Indian Culture
and studied with Joy Shrivastava and Swarna Khuntia.
