3.Musical Conferences

Sangeet Piyasi, keeping the spirit of classical music flying, provides concert stage for:

Established Artists
Children of eminent artists
Young, talented but unknown musicians

It is one of the primary duties of Sangeet Piyasi to introduce fresh talents in front of the listeners of the classical music and we are able to establish ourselves as the premier institution in this regard. We are not confined to Kolkata only; today we help organizers of towns outside Kolkata to organize Regional Music Conferences there. We have successfully organized concerts with full house audience in Jangipur in Mushidabad, Srirampur and Konnagar in Hooghly, Shibpur in Howrah and Dhaka in Bangladesh. Our conferences so far covered only classical vocal,instrumental music and dance. In near future and funds permitting, we shall include light classical and light music also.

5.Picnic with members

Members of Sangeet Piyasi go for a picnic every year in December or January. These picnics are an immense source of enjoyment for the members of Sangeet Piyasi and provides an open platform for interaction between our members. Our members are engaged in different activities throughout the year in their respective work places but at this point of time every member of Sangeet Piyasi gather to celebrate cultural togetherness.
