The renowned Shriram Shankarlal Music Festival, one of India's oldest and most prestigious celebrations of classical music, will return this year from the 21st to the 23rd of March 2025 at Kendra's Open-Air Theatre in New Delhi.

The festival promises a spectacular showcase of the finest talents in Indian classical music, offering a platform for both legendary maestros and emerging artists.

The festival traces its roots to the day India gained independence on 15th August 1947 when Mrs. Sumitra Charat Ram, the founder of the Kendra, held an all-night musical soirée.

This intimate gathering of luminaries from the world of Indian classical music captivated the audience until dawn.

The event led to the formation of the Jhankar Music Circle, which aimed to promote appreciation for Indian classical music through regular concerts and an annual festival initially held at their home and later at the Constitution Club, New Delhi.

On the occasion of the festival this year, Mrs. Shobha Deepak Singh (Chairperson, Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra) said, "The Shriram Shankarlal Music Festival continues to be a cornerstone of India's cultural calendar. We're proud to offer a platform for musicians who represent the finest of Indian classical music, creating a bridge between the timeless and the budding ones.

This year's festival will honour the legacy of our great tradition while also embracing its evolution."
