MALHAR is an annual recital hosted by Shankar Mahadevan Academy for our students in the Bay Area.

MALHAR 2019 will be held at the Sunnyvale Community Centre on June 1, 2019.

We will be holding 6 practice sessions to prepare for the MALHAR recitals. Each session would be an hour long. Sessions are classified by genres. 

Yes it is! If you are joining the Academy for the first time, look for a genre that you are interested in and then select the batch for "New" students. Continuing students register in the "Continuing" students batch. 

Yes! MALHAR is open to children. We are offering 3 genres for children - Hindustani Vocals (ages 5-13), Carnatic Vocals (ages 5-13) and Grow with Music (ages 4-8). If you are a new student of the Academy, please select the "New" students batch at the time of enrolment. If your child has completed a course with us before, please sign up for the "Continuing" students batch.

The rehearsal batches are divided based on Genre, Age and New vs. Continuing students. First select your Genre - Hindustani, Carnatic, Music for Children or Light Music. Next go for either the children or adults' batch based on your (or your child's) age. Please note all children above 14 qualify for adults' batches. Finally, if you are a new student of the Academy, please select the "New" students batch at the time of enrolment. If your child has completed a course with us before, please sign up for the "Continuing" students batch.

A batch would accommodate a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 15 students. 

You are most welcome to bring your friends and family along. There would be a nominal price for entry tickets to cover the cost for holding the recital. The tickets will be up for sale in the next 3 weeks and communicated to you via email. 

We would be holding classes over the Good Friday weekend (i.e. April 20-21). There would be no classes held over the Memorial Day weekend (May 25-26).
