Its obvious purpose is supporting and promoting Indian Classical Music in New York, but we find ourselves gaining so much outside of exploring innovative ways of providing high quality experiences through the music as way of engaging, inspiring and challenging communities locally, nationally and internationally! For us, HarmoNYom is a powerful tool to connect with worldwide communities passionate about our work and Indian Classical Music, targeting music lovers of all ages, races and backgrounds... creating a difference!
