Honoring traditions. Empowering artists.
Executive Director: Billal Samy
Welcome to the South Asian Classical Arts Foundation
As a lifelong admirer and devoted supporter of classical music traditions from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India, my journey over the last 20+ years has been rooted in a deep appreciation for the richness, depth, and timeless beauty of this art form. Throughout this time, I have had the privilege of hosting and promoting classical and ghazal musical performances featuring some of the most revered and accomplished artists from these regions.
This work has always been driven by passion rather than profit. Every effort has been made to ensure that proceeds directly support the artists, honoring their craft and contributing to the continuation of these cherished classical music traditions.
The creation of the South Asian Classical Arts Foundation marks the next step in that journey. This organization has been established to expand the reach and impact of this mission: Preserving, promoting, and advancing South Asian classical arts while creating meaningful opportunities for artists and audiences alike through cultural exchange.
In time, this platform will serve as a central hub to:
- Connect and support artists across regions
- Promote performances, collaborations, and cultural exchange
- Develop educational initiatives and community engagement
- Build sustainable pathways for the growth and preservation of classical arts
We invite you to be a part of this journey. Whether through collaboration, partnership, or tax-deductible contributions in support of the arts, your involvement plays a vital role in sustaining and elevating this cultural legacy.
