The Centre for Indian Music Experience (IME) in Bangalore – India’s first museum devoted to the amazing history of the country’s music – began the first stage of its opening with the inauguration of its Sound Garden and Café on July 29, 2017. The Combustibles – now celebrating the 50th Anniversary of their founding – are proud to be a small part of this journey of Indian music, which will be illustrated when the main museum (http://indianmusicexperience.org/) opens at a date still to be announced – possibly later this year.
“The Indian Music Experience (IME), located in Bangalore, is a first of its kind; making it India’s first ever experiential music museum where visitors can go and not only look at or read about the instruments and journeys through music; but, they can do a lot more—they can actually play these instruments, and much more. Modelled along the lines of the very famous Museum of Pop Culture, in Seattle, IME consists of musical installations, classes, a café, as well as a sound garden, all of which enhance one’s musical experience on visit.” – Dessidre Fleming, MensXP, July 29, 2017

Hey, Nice Event IME,
Such events are really very good to conduct. It would be very motivating for the students and also for the music classes.
I have been running music classes in Jayanagar, Bangalore.
I will ask my students and even i will also be coming to this event.
Thanks
