Shyamal Music
Foundation.

Founded by Aditya Kalyaanpur, the Shyamal Music Foundation is a registered non-profit dedicated to two intertwined missions: promoting the timeless beauty of Indian classical music, and raising funds to support children battling cancer.

Our mission

Music as healing. Music as legacy.

Promote Indian Classical Music

Curated benefit concerts, lecture-demonstrations and masterclasses across India and abroad — keeping the gharanas thriving for new generations.

Nurture Emerging Talent

Mentorship, scholarships and performance platforms for young musicians who otherwise lack access to world-class training and audiences.

Support Children with Cancer

Every benefit concert raises funds that go directly toward treatment, nutrition and emotional support for children battling cancer.

How a Shyamal concert helps

01
Artists donate

Leading classical and contemporary artists waive fees for our benefit concerts.

02
Audiences gather

Concert proceeds, donations and sponsorships are pooled together.

03
Funds directed

100% of net proceeds go toward verified pediatric oncology partners.

04
Music continues

Young musicians get mentored and performance opportunities.

Get involved

Sponsor a concert. Sponsor a child. Sponsor a future.

Whether you're a corporate partner, a venue, an artist or an individual donor — there is a way to be part of the rhythm of giving. Reach out and we'll work with you to design a meaningful collaboration.

A note from Aditya

“Tabla is not just rhythm — it's a heartbeat. With Shyamal, we want every child to keep that heartbeat strong, and every musician to keep ours alive for generations to come.”
