Mission:

The primary focus of this foundation will involve performance and research based workshops, seminars and other public/ community service which is very rare for the Los Angeles city, where the culmination of so many cultural aspects, traditions and knowledge is so powerful and easily the best city for such activities as planned by Spundana Mudra Group

Apart from being a very systematic and disciplined educational Art Foundation, we would be involved in research of Micro-tones and Micro-tonal music that can help the communities in a diverse socio/ cultural region, to live a healthy way of life through several musical journeys involving great masters of a very traditional and aesthetic lineage under the banner of “Art Of Transcendence”—a unique feature of presenting Art works in various media—electronic and print, for all communities to learn, preserve and incorporate these ancient arts in their daily lives.

We would be organizing public seminars, workshops and concerts involving “Micro-tonal Music, Yoga, Meditation and healing systems available” in collaborative projects such as Audio CD and DVD production that connects Music with other forms of Art—both Visual and Performing.

Other collaborative projects with many more Art groups featuring some of the greatest masters from Indian classical music, dance and Yoga experts and not to mention therapists such as massage therapists, Pranic healers and Reiki-healers in newer ideas involving Musical tones, micro-tones and harmony

Goals:

We, as a foundation would be inviting professional Artists from world over for lecture-demonstrations, conduct teaching workshops for the Los Angeles community keeping in mind the Diverse cultural nature of the city and spread it to even the Bay area in future.
Every six months we plan to conduct a public show of various Artists comprising of mainly Micro-tonal music specialistswho would bring along with them, a plethora of other artists such as the percussionists from various genre, to conduct workshops, seminars and performances within the city of Los Angeles.
