Message from C.E.O & Artistic Director Legends:
????? Arjuna – the Great Warrior Prince September
Dear Friends,
Happy Festival Season!
For 21 years South Asian Arts-uk has been working away tirelessly
to bring the very best of South Asian music and dance to the heart of
communities, showcasing it on professional stages and at festivals.
2018 is the beginning of a new chapter. We are taking time to reflect on
past achievements and focusing on the present to ensure we have a high
quality offer for everyone. At the same time, we are looking to the future
to create a vision that continues to celebrate the diverse rich classical,
folk and contemporary arts and cultural traditions synonymous with
Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and UK.
I am really delighted to be sharing our Autumn/Winter Brochure full of
wonderful performances featuring Internationally renowned artists, rising
stars and next generation. Each concert is an excuse for us all to come
together celebrate one of many festivals of hope that take place this time
of year and support each other to get through the dark winter evenings.
September is also the start of a new academic year, which is an
opportunity for everyone to join our Academies, learn something new
or build on what you already know. You are never too old or too young
to learn.
We of course could not do what we do without the public investment from
Arts Council England, Leeds City Council, Trusts & Foundations, artists
and generous individuals who have donated their expertise, time and
money to ensure our charitable work can continue. I want to take this
opportunity to say, ‘Thank You’ and hope you will continue to work with us
to ‘Keep South Asian music and dance alive for generations to come’.
