Sruti Outreach
Sruti Outreach Program
One of the goals of Sruti is to develop contact with area school, colleges, and cultural institutions and propagate the Indian classical music and dance among them. Additionally, the organization coordinates with local music and dance teachers, visiting artistes and scholars and develops the Society's mission of fostering Indian classical music and dance. To achieve the above objectives, the following programs have been organized.
