May Mahfil

Register

Monthly mahfil — a gathering of poetry and music lovers — is a student- and community- focused event that aims to explore and appreciate strong connections between poetry and music in India.

To explore and appreciate the strong connection between poetry and music in Indian culture, we will gather each month to closely read a few poems sung by well-known classical and popular singers and analyze them line-by-line in various contexts to appreciate the literary and aesthetic value of both the poetry and their musical rendition. We will end each gathering with inviting a participants to share their recitation or musical rendition of poems included in the reading packet of the day. Selected poems will be pre-circulated among registered members of monthly mahfil.
