Sharing an interesting musical event that took place after A R Rahman challenged the students of one of America's premier musical college to innovate. “Indian music has been conservative, and it could take the mindset of people studying at Berklee to innovate without destroying the sanctity of the music. I would love to see Berklee students studying [Indian music] and making something new from it.”

"The October 24, 2014, tribute concert and honorary doctorate presentation to A.R. Rahman, India’s foremost film composer and songwriter, sent a surge of excitement through the Berklee campus to Boston’s Indian community and beyond. When word got out of a concert of Rahman’s music at Boston’s Symphony Hall to raise funds for a Berklee scholarship in his name, tickets to the show sold out six weeks before the event."
