Welcome to Baluji Music Foundation

Baluji Music Foundation is an inclusive organisation encouraging participation in music by people from different cultural perspectives, we especially welcome blind and disabled people. We promote the understanding and enjoyment of music and performing arts from the Indian Sub-Continent in all it’s traditional and evolving forms. Our motto is “sharing the joy of music” which we promote through performances, workshops, collaborations, research and exciting projects. Our showcase project is the Inner Vision Orchestra of talented blind musicians performing nationally and internationally.

We are the only promoters of regular events by blind musicians in the UK. We have moved online during lockdown with a series of solo concerts and interviews with Inner Vision Orchestra musicians on YouTube Premiere and on www.theBlind.TV, which is our 24 hour internet TV channel featuring blind people doing all kinds of interesting things.

Inner Vision Women performed a deeply moving concert in the shadow of lockdown on March 16 at RichMix - catch it here on YouTube. We have recently launched our BlindSpot series of socially distant concerts at St John's Waterloo which have included a garden show featuring Kate, Baluji and Rishi and a lunchtime recital featuring Victoria and Kevin - here. The Inner Vision Orchestra also featured on Baluji's new album 'Indian Classical Interactions' with their first studio recording - do please listen and like here on Spotify!

We are planning a socially distanced concert at St John's Waterloo on December 3rd, 5pm with The Commonwealth Resounds, which will be a beautiful inter-faith carol service featuring members of the Inner Vision Orchestra. More details will follow soon!
