Gurukul Music Camp
The Gurukul Music Camp, an annual event organised by Ananda Dhwani Music Trust, offers an immersive experience for music students dedicated to the art of Indian classical music. Held in serene and scenic locations outside Bangalore, this camp is more than just a retreat; it’s a journey into the depths of musical devotion and skill under the esteemed guidance of Guru Prabir Bhattacharya.
Each year, students gather for a three-day intensive program focused on refining their skills, deepening their understanding, and connecting with fellow musicians in a natural setting. The tranquil surroundings—whether the misty hills of Chikmagalur in 2024 or the lush landscapes of Coorg in 2023—enhance the learning experience, bringing an element of peaceful inspiration to the rigorous practice sessions. These beautiful settings allow participants to immerse themselves fully in their craft, fostering an environment where concentration, creativity, and musical synergy thrive.
Guru Prabir Bhattacharya, a respected figure in Indian classical music, leads the students through carefully curated practice sessions designed to challenge and uplift. His guidance brings out the best in each participant, from the intricate nuances of ragas to the rhythmic mastery of talas, offering insights and mentorship that are both rigorous and nurturing.
The culmination of the Gurukul Music Camp is a soulful celebration of music, where students and mentors come together to share the progress made over three days of intensive practice. This gathering among the elements of nature is both a personal and communal tribute to Indian classical music, creating memories and inspiration that resonate long after the camp concludes.
