Karpahavalli Incorporated (“Karpahavalli”), a not for profit organisation, was founded as Karpahavalli Carnatic Music Organisation in 2007 in Sydney, Australia by aspiring young musicians.

We believe in instilling passion and knowledge to inspiring artists to facilitate their growth in the Carnatic music space.

We conduct monthly concerts to provide a platform for up and coming musicians.

Each concert consists of two –three segments ranging from 30 minute slots to grand full length concerts of 2 hours and 15 mins.
