A Brief History

ICMS holds a tradition of excellence and has been in existence since 1992 in Atlanta. The success of ICMS heavily weighs on our uncompromising standards of quality. Our executive committee through a rigorous process year round does selection of concerts. Members participate in surveys and their preferences are considered. Qualities of an artist, his/her current standing, the accompaniment on Tabla and Harmonium etc., as well as general reports from recent concerts are taken into account. A careful screening process every year has resulted in bringing artists who have all been liked and appreciated extremely well by our Atlanta audience. We tend to keep a nice balance between instrumental and vocal concerts. We also attempt to have a mix of senior, and junior artists each year. Our discerning audience in turn, has gained a reputation in India – several artists are vying to perform here. We not only try to get the best artists but also make sure we have the right ambience and mood making a highly successful concert. In short, ICMS strives to give you the best concert experience away from our home country.

History speaks for itself about ICMS’s success. In the past ICMS has brought stalwarts in instrumental music like Hariprasad Chaurasia (flute), Shivkumar Sharma (santoor), Vishwa Mohan Bhatt (mohan veena), and Shahid Parvez (sitar). We have had younger accomplished artists like Kala Ramnath (violin), Satish Vyas (santoor), Sanjeev Abhyankar (vocal, Purbayan Chatterjee (sitar), Ashwini Bhide (vocal), and Debashish Bhattcharya (classical guitar). In the past, we hosted several prominent artists such as Rajan-Sajan Misra, Veena Sahasrabudhe, Arti Anklikar and Prabha Atre,Tejendra Majumdar (sarod), Uday Bhavalkar (Dhrupad/Dhamar) and Ulhas Kashalkar (vocal). ICMS also hosted percussion ensembles lead by Abhijit Banerjee (Tarang) and Suresh Talwalkar.Typically, ICMS has hosted four concerts in a calendar year.
