"Sustaining Heritage, One Raaga at a Time."

CU Raaga is Columbia University’s premier South Asian classical music club, dedicated to promoting both Carnatic and Hindustani traditions. We welcome musicians of all backgrounds, fostering a vibrant community where continuous learning thrives through jam sessions, chamber concerts, and various performance opportunities throughout the year.

At CU Raaga, we curate a diverse range of events to engage with classical music, including concerts, workshops, lecture demonstrations, and student showcases. Our weekly jam sessions provide a space for members from all musical backgrounds to refine their skills and deepen appreciation for this beautiful art form. Furthermore, all of our events are free for CU/BC students, and our major events are open to the public, allowing everyone to experience the beauty of South Asian classical music!
 
We regularly welcome new members—please reach out with any questions. Join us in exploring and celebrating this rich musical tradition!
