Surabhi Ensemble
Mission Statement:
The mission of the Surabhi Ensemble is to demonstrate the connections between cultures and to teach a positive message of togetherness in creating, performing, and demonstrating new works of music and dance. Members of the group work in many settings such as schools, hospitals, theaters, concert halls, festivals, refugee organizations, neighborhood parks, and cultural centers to bring this positive message of cultural unity and outreach.
2024-2025 India Tour:
The Surabhi Ensemble very successfully completed a tour of 5 States and 7 Cities in India!
