Members of the Raag-Mala Society look back on 40 years of presenting spectacular performances and building community relationships. Board President Nishant Parekh, past-President Mohamed Khaki and Treasurer Aliya Ghose share stories of how the society has flourished, from holding concerts in basements of family homes in the early days to concerts for the world via digital and social media platforms today.
“Thanks to relationships we have built through the years, online opportunities came to us,” says Aliya.
Amirali Alibhai, Head of Performing Arts at the Aga Khan Museum, moderates the discussion, exploring issues around how Raag-Mala adapted to the pandemic, what next-generation support looks like, and whether Indian classical music is Canadian music.
