Saraswati College of Music is one of the leading specialized educational institutions in the country. College students master the basics of playing the setar, tabla, flute, cello and other musical instruments, and gain knowledge in vocals, dancing and other areas of art.

The college, which celebrates the centenary of its activities this year, maintains close cooperative ties with Uzbekistan. Together with the diplomatic mission of our country, events are regularly organized to promote the musical traditions and values of the Uzbek and Indian peoples.

At the next artistic and musical evening, samples of the dance art of the two nations were presented. Dances performed by members of the Sabo dance troupe invited from Uzbekistan and a student of the Lal Bahadur Shastri Indian Cultural Center in Tashkent Shabnam Bakhtiyorova, as well as performances by Indian artists, were greeted with applause.

“We are pleased to organize today’s cultural evening. We often hold joint events with our colleagues from Uzbekistan in Delhi and Tashkent. The leadership of Uzbekistan always supports these projects, and we are very grateful for this. Uzbek people are friendly and sincere people, they highly value art. Our cooperation in the field of art will continue,” the director of the music college, Bal Ram Saini, says. 

Cultural-humanitarian cooperation is one of the important areas of Uzbek-Indian relations. Mutual creative tours of Uzbek and Indian artists have become a tradition.

Many joint cultural events are planned in India in 2024. The musical evening organized at Saraswati College continued the series of events in this direction.
