History of Swaraaga & Workshop

Swaraaga, the musical brain child of PraKaSam, started as part of the Kala Soudha free public performance initiative of PraKaSam on July 5th, 2014. We celebrated the first anniversary 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.  We have had four workshop sessions till date and all of them are still working with us in one way or the other. To see what we have been doing please visit www.prakasamtrust.org/ss

Workshop 5th Edition

We would now select  interns from the auditions on the video sent to us and via online Zoom/Meet call 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 be 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. Get stage ready confidence & shaareera

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.
