It was in this day a few years ago Rahman started the KM Music Conservatory, one of the long cherished dreams of him. For him, the instititution is “an attempt to recreate a world-class orchestra for the enjoyment of the people of India.” “Synthesizers and electronic sounds played a significant role in the evolution of music in the 80's and 90's. As this fresh sound captivated listeners, they began to lose appreciation and interest in live classical compositions,” Rahman said at that time and added: “If the trend of listening only to synthesizers and electronic sounds continues, future generations would be deprived of the joy, that is, live classical music.” Rahman's role does not end with the school. The music Messiah is taking with him the message of love wherever he goes. This aptly reflected on the Oscar stage, where he said “I had to choose between love and hate. I chose love and I am here.” And the year ahead is going to be crucial for Rahman. As he needs to meet the world’s expectation, thanks to his phenomenal fame after the Oscars.
