MILPITAS, CA: Sangeet Ankur (Music of Sprouts) a chapter dedicated by Sangeet Dhwani, held an exciting musical and dance performance event at the Milpitas Library Auditorium, which was attended by 180 members in the audience. Smita Kulkarni, Program Coordinator of Sangeet Dhwani while welcoming the audience, explained that the goal behind organizing Sangeet Ankur was to encourage and inspire youth and kids to get involved in mastering the Hindustani Classical Raags. She pointed that this event was 12th in its series.
For this event, Sangeet Dhwani had invited six music agencies operating in the San Francisco Bay Area engaged in training kids and youth aged 7 -16 years, in Hindustani Classical Raagas, based on scientific rules needing full dedication and rigorous practice. These schools had deputed their advanced 35 kids and youth who with their brilliant performance, enthralled the audience.
As the Dance Art form is an integral part of Indian classical music, Supriya Puranik, a popular Dance teacher of Bay Area, had deputed her six youth students who performed a spectacular Bharat Natyam Dance on the theme based on God Ramchandra and Lord Krishna which was so relevant to “Janmashtami” being celebrated by members of the Hindu community.
The audience present at this spectacular musical extravaganza was so overwhelmed with appreciation, that they gave a thunderous applause for each batch of students performing both solo and jointly. A few comments by a couple of participating Music Teachers and audience are noteworthy.

Also, a wonderful opportunity for my student kids as such events will go a long way in motivating them to pursue this art more passionately.”
