# L Subramaniam Plans Global Centre for Indian Music 2026-08-15T09:56:37+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Violinist L Subramaniam says he is working to raise funds for a global centre of excellence where students from across the world can learn Indian music, improvisation and musical experience. In an interview with Rediff.com, the Padma Vibhushan awardee said his father’s ambition to make the violin a solo instrument shaped his career. Subramaniam said honours were “a passing cloud” and that no musician could master the more than 5 million scales and numerous rhythmic cycles in Indian music. He described learning as a continuous process and said he wanted to create pathways for the next generation. His musical journey began after childhood diphtheria led his father to shift his focus from vocal training to the violin. ## Coverage - rediff.com Tags: A.R.
