CHARSUR ARTS FOUNDATION a non profit organization  has been formed primarily to Promote, Preserve and Support the art and the artistes who have made enormous contributions in the field of CARNATIC MUSIC.

 Carnatic music is the most ancient form of Indian Classical music which is more than 300 years old. This music system is based on Indian values, and the themes are spiritual and philosophical in content. With a  sincere attempt to  promote and preserve Carnatic music using digital technology and make them available to posterity, promote and encourage young talent by providing them opportunities and support musicians who are financially deprived.  The foundation works in the areas of livelihood, empowerment, music education and preservation of this art form.

The operation of the foundation is many fold:

Activities

• Young Talent Promotion
• Pathashaala – Workshop by Gurus and Leading Performing artistes
• Mid-Year Music Festival
• December Season Music Festival
• Marghazhi Sangeetotsavam
• Sangitaka Grha
• Archiving Recordings

Charsur has been operating on rental space from the beginning and the pandemic situation for past 2 year has made it even more challenging. The foundation is now looking at creating a permanent space to continue its activities.

The foundation is currently operating from Alwarpet (location) which is the heart of the city but going forward it is not affordable to create a space in the same area. Foundation has identified a space which is 17 kms away from the current location, covers all requirements of workspace, Video / Audio Studio, Design and Accounts, Small Pantry for the artistes and Parking.
