Gurmat Sangeet Camp deep in the heart of Texas...

Looks like the Houston area Sangat is arranging a Gurmat Sangeet Camp from August 1st through 4th of this year. This event is being organized by both the Raj Academy and the Houston Sikh Sangat.

It's mission is to introduce and promote the rich musical tradition of Sikhism's Gurus and the classical string instruments that were utilized/invented or modified during their time.

This is an opportunity for all to come learn Raag Kirtan in Classical Sikh Instruments. For four days, Sikhs from different areas of the world, of different ages, and of different walks of life, will get the opportunity to come together, and engage in an intense learning program in which they will learn how to play Classical Instruments such as the Saranda, Taus, Dilruba, Sarangi, and Punjabi Pakhawaj. Campers will learn Raagas (Vocally and Instrumentally), understand the significance of Gurmat Sangeet, and experience first hand our Classical Musical Heritage.
