Dear Vikas, The music workshop is open to any musician or vocalist who would like to work with other musicians who may be from different genres of music. The aim is to explore ways of collaborating including how to work with musicians who rely primarily on their listening skills. Each professional performing musician who takes part will be paid 2000 rupees towards travel expenses. Venue: 17, Kasturba Gandhi Marg, Connaught Place, New Delhi Time: 10:00 AM to 04:00 PM.

Please contact Baluji on this number if you have any questions 9551925873 There will be a maximum of 20 places for musicians who want to take part, on a first come first serve basis. Once there are 20 musicians to take part, anybody else who want to observe the workshop is very welcome. Musicians must bring their instrument with them.
