About Us

Initially formed as ICMD (Indian Classical Music & Dance) during the Winter semester of 2003, Michigan Sahānā is a group of Indian classical artists who attend the University of Michigan. We focus on both performance and appreciation of the traditional art forms of India while also seeking to foster the community of students interested in India’s rich tradition of music and dance.

This includes putting on unique concerts to showcase the vast talent of the group and organizing educational events to spread awareness. Michigan Sahāna’s performances feature a diverse set of artists, including both Hindustāni and Carnātic musicians, and performers of many different styles of Indian classical dance.
