MITHAS founded in 1993, is dedicated to the classical experience in performing arts and to the propagation of these arts. MITHAS takes pride in bringing quality music and musicians from across the globe to present at Boston and surrounding areas.
Our vision is to preserve and present this ancient art form by organizing world-class concerts, lecture demonstrations, symposiums and special events, which bring together the renowned artists and audiences. MITHAS has presented more than 100 concerts including those of veteran musicians like Ali Akbar Khan, Zakir Hussain, Hariprasad Chaurasia, T.N. Krishnan, Balamurali Krishna, Veena Sahasrabuddhe, T.N. Seshgopalan, Shahid Parviz, Pandit Jasraj, and many more of the most accomplished and distinguished artists of India.
Our Mission The performing arts of South Asia are a legacy representing many of the oldest and deepest traditions of our planet. Classical dance, theater and music in South Asian cultures have a wide breadth and refinement expressed in many diverse styles.
The spiritual wealth, emotional and dramatic richness, rhythmic and melodic vitality, and the abundance of literature embodied in these arts now inspire performers of many disciplines. Representing all ethnic groups, artists of these learned, spiritual and elegantly refined traditions now reside, teach and perform in all parts of the earth.
MITHAS seeks to enrich our environment and endow our children with the benefits of regular exposure to this great heritage, join together to create a society for the preservation and presentation of these arts to our community and the greater New England area. The complex nature of music makes it nearly impossible to notate and hence exclusively relies on oral transmission as the method of teaching which makes these concerts and lectures vital. |
