Rooted in a deep commitment to education, Darbar’s story began with Bhai Gurmit Singh Virdee teaching table to students in East Africa during the 1970s. This passion grew in the UK, shaping a vision to make Indian classical music education accessible to all.
Today, Darbar Academy continues this legacy, offering world-class learning from master teachers that is easily accessible through technology, allowing students to engage with the artform from anywhere in the world.
