We are proud to announce the incorporation of Queensland Sangeet Mela Association. QSMA aims to:

• foster high quality Indian classical music and dance in Queensland
• collaborate with and support other organisations with similar aims.

QSMA is building on the work done by Shen Flindell and the Sangeet Mela committee, who organised the Sangeet Mela festival from 2014 to 2019. This website is in transition between these two phases.
