Land for AR Rahman's Dream Project

India's leading music director A.R. Rahman has taken a concrete step towards fulfilling his dream to build a music conservatory to groom young talents, who want to learn Western classical music. He has acquired the land for the project near Chennai airport.

The maestro has reportedly said that, "I feel young talented musicians in our country, especially those who want to learn Western classical music, have nowhere seriously creative to go. We need to cultivate a taste for Western symphonic music so that an average musically-inclined young musician would be as enthused about learning the violin as the sitar."

According to Rahman, the school will be one of the best music schools in the country. The work to build the school will start soon. "We'll soon be working round-the-clock", says the musician.

Here is wishing the maestro all the best to finish his dream project soon.
