We are planning a series of concerts, training programs and other workshops with special emphasis on the Indian classical form of music and dance. Although, our focus in in and around Los Angeles area, we would soon be planning our projects in the Bay area as well.

Art making and preservation of art are very challenging career sectors. We are going to provide every aspiring artist a fair and truthful support in any way we can and there shall be no bias of any kind from our foundation or any member of our training program, in doing that. Our goal is simply to support various artists from all genres and provide them with whatever support they need through our wide range of networking among world class artists and trainers.  

A few words about the artist…


“I have been teaching…and inviting guest musicians to visit my class in an intimate and quite informal setting for over fifteen years. It was a great honor to host a visit from Mr. Jagannathan Ramamoorthy. His lecture demonstration was outstanding. His ability to engage a group of non-music majors with his performance skills as well as his formidable wealth of information dealing with the intricacies of both South and North Indian classical music was superb. The class is a three-hour Liberal Studies course and no one wanted the class meeting to come to an end…”

-- Joyce Lightbody, Adjunct Faculty, Liberal Studies, Foundation, and Fine Arts
Otis College of Art and Design, Los Angeles, California


“He is a very talented and upcoming artist and has an open mind towards Jazz, Fusion, and Trance music. I have listened to some of his latest CDs in this regard and feel he will shine well in the field chosen by him…I wish him all the best…”

-- Padmabhushan: Dr. N. Rajam Professor Emeritus, Ex Dean, Music and Performing Arts,
Benares Hindu University, India


“Mr. Ramamoorthy’s violin accompaniment has graced recent performances of mine…his professionalism is first-rate and his knowledge is extensive. Moreover, he is a gifted speaker and educator, ready and able to impart his knowledge verbally. His research and scholarship are worthy of note and show great promise…He is indeed a credit to his guru.”

-- Ustad Zakir Hussain

World Renowned Tabla Artist and Teacher


“…He remains one of the best examples of an artist that has found balance in being a daring creative artist, unafraid to explore the boundaries of his inherited discipline and culture, and who is, on the other hand, able to bring this to fruition in a practical environment of undistracted professionalism…”

-- Mark Menzies, Violin and Viola and Chamber Music Professor,
Program Advisor to CalArts and REDCAT


“He has shared his great artistry with many individual artists, and also performing groups, and by doing so has inspired many to heights of excellence that would not have been available to them without his fine influence.”

-- Dr. John Schneider, Producer/Host, KPFK 90.7 FM  Pacifica Radio


“…A very fascinating violinist…who brings so much Spirituality to our music and performances…”
