Awarded a FY25 Creative Engagement Grant

I am excited to announce that as part of the LMCC Manhattan Arts Grant mechanism, I am one of the awardees of its Creative Engagement Award! "Creative Engagement is an arts funding program that provides seed grants to individual artists and nonprofit organizations for projects and activities that offer Manhattan communities diverse artistic experiences" (see here for more details).
I thank LMCC for its continued support of my work, and I look forward to presenting Bharatanatyam at several locations in uptown Manhattan, such as Buunni Coffee, the 
YM & YWHA of Washington Heights and Inwood, and Aaron Davis Hall at City College.  
The video below is from a song I presented last year, also as part of a grant received from LMCC. This song (Na Jaane) describes the devotion of a student to his or her chosen field of study.
Ragam (melody): Hamir Kalyani
Talam (rhythm): Mishra Chapu


Location: Aaron Davis Hall, City College of New York
​Video credit: Libby Lussenhop
Music teacher: Smt Nivedita ShivRaj of RagaChitra Fine Arts 


Guru Vandana was made possible in part with public funds from Creative Engagement and UMEZ Arts Engagement, regrant programs supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, the Howard Gilman Foundation and Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone Development Corporation (UMEZ) and administered by LMCC.
