MusicUniv presents “The Universe of Sound – 2011” (Edition 3)

The Universe of Sound is a 3-day festival presented by MusicUniv, featuring some of the top names in the musical milieu talking to audiences in a facilitative, interactive forum. They will present their art and discuss their process. Further, the idea is to present a festival that showcases talent in a way that will be assimilated and appreciated both by students and children and by the music rasika. Accordingly, a third of our seats have been reserved for children studying music in one of our participating schools and students of music/dance from eminent institutions such as Kalakshetra.

Each day focuses on one of the three basic aspects of music – melody, harmony and rhythm. Each day will feature an artist of the highest standing from different genres (Hindustani, Western Classical/Contemporary and Classical Dance) in a lecture-concert format, followed by a discussion led by a prominent Carnatic vocalist. The programme presented by these artistes will be interspersed by performances by children as well. All programmes will take place between 9 AM and 12 noon at Smt Sivagami Petachi Auditorium, Luz Church Road, Chennai 4. This is on the 17th, 18th and 19th December, 2011. The second day’s programme is jointly hosted by the Max Muller Bhavan/Goethe Institut.

MusicUniv is a pioneering venture in bringing structured music education to schools. Using content crafted and developed at premier conservatories for music, MusicUniv's classes across curricular and extra-curricular domains have managed to reach out to nearly 5000 children across 52 Chennai schools in a little more than a year. Its current extra-curricular module was developed at Brhaddhvani, one of Chennai's most revered centres for music research and education and uses the COMET (Correlated Objectives in Music Education and Training) approach to musical training. Anil Srinivasan, well-known classical musician, serves as MusicUniv’s Managing Director.
