Bose Music Institute

Traditions are vulnerable to the passage of time and can become a part of history if not nurtured for posterity. Hindustani classical music, was sustained over generations by royal patronage. The gradual disappearance of this form of support led to a dilution of musical traditions and values.

Pt. Ram Krishna Bose tried to bring classical music within the reach of the middle class intelligentsia, in a systematic way, by introducing music education institution. When he came in Udaipur, at the very first sight, he liked the Lake City very much and wanted to settle in this picturesque small town of Rajasthan. In order to contribute to music, after years of dedication and drive, he established the prestigious Bose Musical Institute in 1993 with the objective of preserving and promoting Hindustani Classical Music. The Institute is known to the musical community of India. This institute is recognized by almost all the leading musical boards in the country today which conducts regular concerts, Lec-dems, examinations, seminars and workshops. The institute housed in a 3,600 Sq. ft. area is the most reputed in Udaipur which proves the relentless devotion and interest of Pt. Bose as an individual.

He wishes to develop music education on the pattern of Vishwa Bharati. He provides hostel facilities for foreign Students. He has played a major role to revive and nurture rich heritage of Hindustani Classical Music through the institute. He enshrines the principles that nurture the past to build the future. More importantly, it embodies the underlying philosophy and spirit of this art form.

Regular courses of music therapy is being conducted in ‘Bose Music Institute’. The Institute has provided the security and the comforts of a home and the opportunity for a brighter future to both the gurus and the scholars. It has achieved this through the implementation of its objectives based on a training system that is essentially the Guru-Shishya Parampara with suitable contemporary fine-tuning.

The Guru-Shishya Parampara is the very soul of the oral tradition of India, and embodies the living and learning relationship between master and pupil. Evolving from the era of the great Indian seers, what the tradition signifies is the complete emotional, intellectual and spiritual surrender of the ardent shishya to the guru.

The basic objectives of Bose Music Institute are:
Promotion of excellence and the preservation of India’s rich cultural heritage
Creation of an effective training system.
To rationalise traditional data with the help of modern research methods and technology
Promotion and propagation of music.
To take high quality music systematically to areas and sections of the population who otherwise do not enjoy access to it.
To cater to specialised audience needs and create connoisseurs of music by changing the conventional conference mould and creating new thematic profiles.
To commemorate those veterans and doyens of classical music whose 'pursuit of music as a form of knowledge has enabled us to establish and perpetuate a community of shared values
