Our Events

The cultural program on February 14th was a great success attended by nearly 100 including teachers, children, parents and volunteers. The two and half hour event included individual and group performances in classical Carnatic music vocal, dual veena program and sloka recitals. Congratulations to all the young participants, about 40 of them, on theiraccomplishments. We are grateful to the teachers of Sacred Sounds, Swathi Swara Music

School, Other schools for continuing our traditions of teaching our children the unique fine art forms of music and recitation. We extend our thanks to all the parents and attendees of this event, despite heavy rain, exemplifying dedication and interest, making this a great community event.

On February 4th, we conducted an introductory free drawing class on the topic of Rangoli. Rangoli is an ancient visual art form also known by many other names in India. Beautiful intricate patterns and motifs are created using white chalk and colored powders of natural materials, drawn freehand with just dots and lines. These drawings are considered auspicious and are created as part of daily household routine. Check this website for repeat offerings of our drawing classes.

We plan to have more such events throughout the year, generally scheduled around major festival days and weekends to facilitate maximum community involvement and participation. Each event highlights a theme with performances in various art, music and dance forms of India. Children are encouraged to participate in themed activities such as rangoli, crafts, short quizzes etc. to develop curiosity. Adult volunteers are always standing by to answer any questions and refer to additional information on the rich cultural heritage of India. In addition, young volunteers are encouraged to write articles, present and coordinate these events helping them to develop communication and leadership skills.

We are looking forward to volunteers, teachers and performers coordinating events and teaching classes. Please send an email to contact@culturalsocietyfm.org and/or join the WhatsApp group “FM Cultural Society”
