Laya of Berkeley

A performing group with an aim to bring the intricacies and flows of Carnatic and Hindustani classical music to the diverse, cosmopolitan environment of Cal and the larger Bay Area. We also host concerts and lec-dems to foster musical learning. The purpose of Laya is to draw together individuals who have a passion for music. Although the primary focus is classical Indian music, the goal is to blend and fuse other genres of music from around the world to create a unique performing group. The group will focus on cultivating and rehearsing these fusions through regular practices. Along with performing, the group hosts concerts and lecture demonstrations to foster an environment of musical learning. The primary focus of the group is to grow interest in classical Indian music as well as inspire individuals to expand their musical creativity.
