Celebrating Heritage. Inspiring the Future!

Ashavari Performing Arts is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization founded in 2017 by the Indian classical music lovers living in the San Francisco Silicon Valley in CA USA with a vision to promote and preserve Indian classical musical heritage, including Indian classical dance styles in the United States and to provide a platform for the musicians and the dancers who have devoted their lives to the pursuit of Indian Classical Music and Dance. We are very proud that Tabla Maestro Padmashri Pandit Swapan Chaudhuri serves as the artistic director of this organization and is instrumental behind shaping the artistic vision, programming, and overall success of the organization. Ashavari aspires to bring one of Pandiji's visions to life by introducing a high-quality, multi-day classical music festival on the West Coast of the USA.. Panditji himself being a professional musician of highest calibre in the art of Tabla drumming, always encourages the team to uphold and maintain the artistic integrity of the organization by ensuring the quality of the artistic productions through rigorous standards and evaluation.
