Develop
As a result of Milap’s educational opportunities, we are proud to have supported and propelled the careers of numerous musicians, singers and dancers, and have given a platform to many young and upcoming performers for over 30 years. Innovative education projects, plus our strong ties to the Indian music and dance industry, provide musicians with sustained career development opportunities – right from budding young artists through to becoming seasoned professionals and beyond.
The Milap Ensembles programme—comprising SAMYO, SABRANG, and TARANG—is the only one of its kind in the world. It offers young musicians in the UK unique opportunities to learn, collaborate and perform Indian music in dynamic settings, supported by world-renowned artists. We provide exceptional resources and experiences to help nurture musical excellence, accelerate your development and give our members lifelong skills and friendships.
