The Annual Inlaks Summer Reunion meet took place on 4th July, 2024, at the Leighton House, London. Attended by several alumni, current scholars, grantees and awardees, board members and members from collaborating academic institutes, the evening started with a beautiful recital of German and English songs “The Lads in their hundreds...” by Roderick Williams, one of the world’s most sought-after baritones  and Susie Allan  one of the most perceptive accompanists today, who was at the piano.

Chairperson of the Foundation Azad Shivdasani also addressed the guests, sharing the impressive and successful trajectory of Param Vir, one of its alumni present in the room, who is a 1984 Scholar and a leading figure in contemporary music. Through his story, Azad weaved the story of the Foundation finding young talent and enabling learning, creative and life-changing opportunities for them. 

The evening culminated with animated and lively conversations amongst the attendees on their own journeys and future possibilities.

We will be looking to organise more local alumni events. Do drop in an email at info@inlaksfoundation.org if you would be interested in attending them and/or organising them.
