Aims

The primary aim of Sadarang Archives is to promote Pakistani classical music and practitioners of this art form. 

The organisation hopes to make steady progress and act as a focal point for artistes, scholars and listeners alike so that a greater understanding of classical music can be achieved. Despite being the age of  modern technology and mass media by which the world has become a smaller place, many talented musicians of Pakistan have been denied the opportunity to achieve fame and recognition. Sadarang Archives hopes to raise awareness of these musicians so that they could be encouraged to carry on the art and develop further into great musicians of the future.

 It is hoped that this web site can be the start of a new beginning in the chapter of classical music in Pakistan by which the classical melodic culture can be safeguarded for future generations.
