Western Classical Music Concerts & Education in Mumbai
Experience the legacy of Mehli Mehta through world-class orchestral performances, chamber music, and student mentorship programs right here in Mumbai.
We believe in the timeless power of a live orchestra, a tradition we have proudly upheld for decades. Here, Maestro Zubin Mehta conducts the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra during the 'Celebrating Zubin at 90' concerts, a series of performances that celebrated his profound legacy and lifelong dedication to music.
It was a profound honor to have world-renowned pianist Lang Lang join us for Maestro Zubin Mehta's 90th birthday celebration. In this video, he shares his reflections on the Maestro's influence and the importance of nurturing the next generation of classical musicians, a mission that lies at the heart of our foundation.
A truly special moment of mentorship, as our gifted students from the MMMF String Ensemble rehearse alongside the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra. This session was guided by the watchful eyes of Maestro Zubin Mehta and the legendary violinist Pinchas Zukerman, embodying our commitment to providing students with unparalleled learning opportunities.
We are dedicated to bringing the world's finest ensembles to Mumbai. This video announced the arrival of the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra, led by conductor and cellist Nicolas Altstaedt, for an exclusive performance featuring works by Tchaikovsky and Haydn, continuing our tradition of presenting celebrity concerts.
The inaugural Zubin Mehta Celebrity Concert featured a breathtaking violin recital by the legendary Midori, accompanied by pianist Özgür Aydın. This performance marked the beginning of a new series dedicated to bringing global icons of classical music to the Mumbai stage.
The collective power of music is on full display as our student choir and string ensemble perform together. We provide numerous platforms for our students to collaborate and share the stage, fostering a sense of community and shared artistic achievement.
We were deeply moved to receive this message from Maestro Zubin Mehta himself. He speaks about the foundation's work and the joy of seeing our young students perform with such heart and skill, a testament to the enduring legacy of his father, Mehli Mehta.
We celebrate the rich history of opera by hosting special thematic events like the Puccini Centenary. This gala night at the historic Royal Opera House featured a stellar cast performing the composer's greatest arias, showcasing our commitment to diverse and culturally significant programming.
About Featured
When you join us for a concert at the Royal Opera House or NCPA, you are not just attending a performance; you are witnessing a bridge between international virtuosos and our own local students. Whether you are seeking premium seating for a major orchestral gala or want to support our young ensemble's latest recital, our events provide a window into the evolution of Western classical music in India.
The Mehli Mehta Music Foundation stands as a pillar of Western classical education and performance in Mumbai. Our work spans from hosting global icons like Zubin Mehta and Lang Lang in grand concert halls to fostering the next generation through our Discover Music classes and student choirs. We believe in the power of live performance, which is why we curate a diverse calendar that includes chamber music, opera galas, and orchestral recitals.
Our venues, primarily the Jamshed Bhabha Theatre at the NCPA and the Royal Opera House, are selected for their acoustics and ability to bring audiences closer to the music. Beyond the stage, we are committed to mentorship, creating opportunities for students to learn directly from visiting international artists through exclusive masterclasses. We operate as a community, where parents, students, and seasoned concert-goers meet to share in the discipline and joy of the craft. If you are planning to attend, remember that we often offer student discounts at the box office, and our signature orchestral performances typically feature a standard 20-minute intermission.
