History of Swaraaga & Workshop

Swaraaga, the musical brain child of PraKaSam, completed its anniversary on July 5th, 2015. We celebrated the day with a three hour performance with the team. The response was overwhelming and humbled us. We have been having people willing to join the team and show their singing talents and more than everything else their interest to join our team.

To cater to such aspirants we came up with a workshop performance to share our knowledge.  The first edition was a runaway success and we had 16 aspirants who were chosen to attend our workshop. The workshop ended with 2 housefull shows of all these new young talented singers performing on the famous Kalasoudha stage. To see what we have been doing please visit www.prakasamtrust.org/ss

Workshop 4th Edition

We would now select  interns from the auditions on 4th Mar 2018  4:00 PM at KalaKompound and train them in different forms of music, from voice culture to presentation during performance, from folk music to classical music, all channeled up to a grand show to celebrate the learning.  There would a minimum of 15 sessions between auditions to performance where keeping the performance in mind the select singers would be molded to enthrall the audiences.

  1. Learn how to sing the right way
  2. Interact with performing artists who come in as main faculty

  7. Learn to fight the fear of performance or stage fear as they call it

Fees? Are we charging anything for this quality program which would then let you perform in-front of an audience & music stalwarts? No we do not charge any fees for the course, but we do expect you to bring 25 audiences for the performance who would buy a ticket of 100 Rs.  This money would be used for the production of the graduation performance & AV of the anthem. You think it is fair enough? Then you should stop reading and mail us your voice sample & contact number to prakasamtrust@gmail.com

We sincerely hope that you will have a blast watching this as we have creating this performance piece for you.
