Two splendid events that the people will remember for a long time took place on 28th September, 202. It was the eve of the Indian Film Festival in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, and the completion of 98 successful years of the Saraswati Music College, New Delhi, India. Founded by Shri Bansilal Kapoor, the college has been a pioneer of Indian and Western Music while serving its belief of making youngsters the best version of themselves. These 98 years of the institute have been nothing less than a journey of cultural amalgamation and pride for the founder and his family.
Music as a legacy has been passed on to Vibhor Saini by his grandfather Shri Bansilal Kapoor. He definitely did justice to this legacy by adding it with his dedication and determination for music. He inaugurated his studio, “Katharas Audio Studio” and “Katharas Video Studio” in 2007, in the same building as the college. When asked about it, he exclaimed how the studio would serve as a place for one of the best and latest music technologies and go parallel to the acoustic and aesthetic aura.
