independent body at arm’s length from government.
Between 2006 and 2008, we will invest £1.1 billion of public money from

We believe that the arts have the power to change lives and
communities, and to create opportunities for people throughout the
country.

Asian Music
Circuit
The Asian Music Circuit aims to bring the best of traditional and
contemporary music reflecting living traditions from Asia to the widest
public possible. The study and understanding of music from different
parts of our world is a journey of discovery of the deeper reality of
things, of oneself and of our world . Such a journey is undertaken as
much by the listener as by the performer and it is their joint and
mutual experience that can lead to a heightened state of mind. Only
then does music, to quote one of India's greatest philosophers Dr.
Radhakrishnan , “give us a sense of the meaningfulness of life and
evoke in us ideas of the larger beauty , justice and charity of the
universe”.
