Message from the Founder & President

My dear friends,

Music has been my life since I was nine—first in the hallowed halls of Kolkata’s Sangeet Research Academy, then on stages shared with legends, and now in the heart of Hollywood.

Hollywood Taan Music Academy is my promise: to pass this sacred fla;e to dreamers who need it most. Every scholarship, every workshop, every concert is a bridge—from my family’s four-generation legacy to a child who believes melody can heal.

I invite you to join me. Let us turn silence into symphony, and struggle into song.

With gratitude and a bowed note,

Pandit Girish Chatterjee

Founder & President of Hollywood Taan Music Academy Foundation
