Explore the milestones and memories that have defined our thirty-year commitment to fostering Western classical music within Mumbai's vibrant cultural landscape.

We were featured in a Mid-Day exclusive where our Founder-Trustee, Mehroo Jeejeebhoy, spoke about the illustrious past of the foundation as we turned 30 and the importance of music for the future.

Mumbai Mirror featured this wonderful article, "Keys to a legacy," detailing how our foundation, born from a wish by Zubin Mehta, has nurtured young voices and deepened Mumbai's love for Western classical music for 30 years.

The Times of India featured the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra's concert in Mumbai, presented by our foundation. The article highlights the ensemble's status as one of the world's great youth orchestras.

About Our Journey in the Press

These articles serve as more than just a public record; they document the evolution of our mission from a heartfelt tribute to a cornerstone of classical music education in India. When you see these features, you are looking at the direct lineage of our student performances, our collaborations with global icons, and the decades of effort we have poured into building a bridge between international virtuosity and local talent.

Our story began with a singular focus: keeping the music playing. Whether it is a feature in Mid-Day reflecting on our Founder-Trustee Mehroo Jeejeebhoy’s vision, or Mumbai Mirror tracing the origins of our foundation back to a wish from Zubin Mehta, these press clippings capture the reality of our work. They highlight the tangible milestones we have achieved alongside the students who have graced stages from the NCPA to heritage sites across the city.

We believe that transparency about our history helps you understand the standard we set for our training programs and concert series. When The Times of India covers our presentation of the Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra, it reinforces our promise to bring world-class musicianship to our local audience.

If you are looking to understand the depth of our involvement in Mumbai’s arts scene—or if you are considering enrolling your child in our classes—these documents offer a clear view of our pedigree. We invite you to read through these milestones, which reflect not just the concerts we have hosted, but the enduring community of parents, teachers, and musicians we have built over the last three decades.
