Really appreciate the time and effort put in by Alka and Vikram to make these talks interesting, informative as well as being fun with snippets of the people behind the music. Their enthusiasm and passion for the music shone through. I find myself trying to hear and identify the different instruments in songs now. Thank you SAAR for a very insightful and informative 3 days.

The evolution of music in Indian cinema was explained with simplicity by Vikram reflecting his knowledge and passion about the subject. To hear the ragas live and then watch the music clips was the icing on the cake.

I really enjoyed the SAAR - Journey of a Hindi Film Song. I think it was well conceived and it unravelled the various decades of popular Indian film music. Some live music to highlight various nuances of film songs were quite interesting.

Coinciding with the 100 year anniversary of the Hindi Film Industry, this lecture series took the audience on a three-day voyage of Hindi Film Music from 1930 to the 1980’s, examining it as a musical genre in its own right. The programme illustrated the distinct transformations that this musical form underwent during these five pivotal decades; thematically, stylistically, and instrumentally, whilst demonstrating how specific songs can be read as indicators of social and cultural change in the history of modern India. All lectures were conducted by Vikram Lall.
