MUSIC INSTITUTIONS YACM – YOUTH ASSOCIATION FOR CLASSICAL MUSIC YACM – an association that
has captured the hearts of thousands in every
segment of the society. From Senior Vidwans to
music connoisseurs. Corporate giants to small-time
musicians. Philanthropists to college students.
Teaching faculty to temple trustees. And more…
And to YACM, that itself is a major achievement.
What started of as a humble gathering of like-
minded people is today a great movement. A
movement that inspires more youth to take to
classical music. Either as performers or rasikas or as
organisers. At YACM, classical music is not just
concerts & lectures. It is where innovations & ideas start. YACM is an association that provides an
opportunity to young performers who seek a respected platform for their maiden performance. Though,
our responsibilities & working avenues go beyond this.
Our activities provide youth opportunities to learn important lessons too. Our Anniversary Celebrations
that excites madras for about a week every August,
provides excellent means of identifying future
managers, leaders, workaholics and creative
persons. An experience that gives everyone
important lessons for life. Through a field that is
thought of as mere music ! AND WHAT HAS ALL THIS
FETCHED US? A membership list in excess of 300.
More than 500 artistes who have been presented.
Of which about 30% did their debut. And many
youngsters who perform today look upon YACM
with gratitude for having brought them forth into
this field. WHERE DOES IT STAND TODAY? Today,
YACM is an important part of classical music. it is the
