Bhavnagar has long been known as Kala Nagari—a city with a rich cultural heritage and a deep appreciation for music, dance, and the arts.

​

Sur Connect, the flagship cultural initiative of Living with Music and Anubhuti Trust, builds upon this legacy through a year-round programme of Indian classical music and dance. Alongside curated concerts, it presents intimate baithaks, workshops, lecture-demonstrations, and conversations, creating meaningful opportunities for audiences to engage deeply with the arts.

​

Committed to preserving both the tangible and intangible heritage of Indian classical music and dance, Sur Connect brings together eminent maestros, accomplished performers, and promising young artists. By fostering dialogue between generations, it creates opportunities for young musicians and dancers to perform, learn, and interact with senior artists, ensuring that knowledge, tradition, and artistic values continue to be passed on.

​

Each presentation is inspired by a unique artistic theme—from celebrating the legacy of great maestros to exploring the changing moods of the seasons through music and dance.

Through these programmes, Sur Connect seeks to strengthen Bhavnagar's cultural identity while nurturing informed audiences and inspiring the next generation of

artists and cultural custodians.
