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.

Inner Vision Music Workshops continue to train and entertain visually impaired people across London funded by The Big Lottery, Greater London Fund for the Blind and Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers. Our next workshop is on December 9 2019 at Richmix and on December 16 we are trying out our Dotaware hands free braille music device developed in partnership with Queen Mary's College London University funded by Amplified and NESTA.
