Guidelines Encouraging New Participants

2. You are welcome to sign up again after a break and continue participating in future events.
3. For any further questions, please contact [email protected].
4. The Board and Staff of Ra-Ve Cultural Foundation, retain the right to all decisions regarding this event.​​

Sapthaswara is an initiative by Ra-Ve Cultural Foundation to give a platform to upcoming musicians who want motivation to improve their form. It can also be used as a platform to try out new ideas in music as long as we stick to traditional Indian music. This can include classical forms and folk forms.

For you to use this platform, we require that you become a member of Ra-Ve (Basic family membership is currently at $125 per annum). This membership is your partner in helping you grow in your art. It will give you further opportunities to attend workshops by giving you discounts, attend house concerts, perform at house concerts and perform at other venues as needed on behalf of Ra-Ve. Our only goal in Ra-Ve is encouragement of good and committed talent.
​
Welcome to Ra-Ve and welcome to Bentonville. We look forward to working with you and supporting you as an artist.
