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 people who are differently abled. 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 blind musicians performing nationally and internationally.

We are the only promoters of regular events by blind musicians in the UK. During Corona Virus Lockdown we have a series of interviews with Inner Vision Orchestra musicians on www.theBlind.tv which is our internet tv channel featuring blind people doing all kinds of interesting things!
