Natya Tarangini and Dr.s Raja Radha Reddy and Kaushalya Reddy have been organizing the Parampara Series - National Festival of Music & Dance uninterrupted for the past 23 years. Parampara Series is one of the first festivals of its kind started in the Indian capital in 1997 showcasing a spectacular bouquet of classical dance and music performances, featuring not only the budding artists but also legendary artists & maestros of Indian music & dance such as Pt. Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Kishori Amonkar, Bala Murali Krishna, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Pt. Shiv Kumar Sharma, Parveen Sultana, Vyjayanthimala Bali, Kelucharan Mahopatra, Pt. Birju Maharaj, Shubha Mudgal, Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Hariharan, Alarmel Valli, Mrinalini, Kumidini Lakhia, Astad Deboo.
In 2011, under this banner Raja Radha Reddy`s long standing name brought together international stalwarts in Delhi`s capital such as USA`s prime dance company Paul Taylor Dance company, Legendary Jose Porcel of Spain, Whirling Dervishes of Turkey and Moscow Classical Ballet, Russia. Till date classical artists of this caliber have not been presented by any organization in India.
In this situation, globally people are suffering from anxiety, depression and mental stress, Natya Tarangini strives to spread the bliss of music & dance by reliving our memories of 23 Golden years of “Parampara Series”. Our endeavour this year, supported by the United Nations, is to telecast a 4 (four) weekend series starting on 30th October, 2020, where we will present rare and legendary performances from the past editions. This initiative is to share with the future generations and celebrate Indian classical music & dance to spread the message of hope, harmony and solidarity.
