We asked about the focus on traditional & classical music genres, Nina said, “My key objectives are to connect with relevant music festival producers, organisations and groups to build on vital dialogues which reinforce international presence, touring, production and exchange for Indian classical music, both traditional and new works – live, studio and digital. I believe heritage is a universal value the more we engage, the more we evolve”
Music BC has proudly supported Nina Buddhdev’s advocacy for Indian Classical music, who was a key player in ‘The Raga Experience’- the provincial 2018 Junos campaign project for Indian classical music, with BC Sitarist, Sharanjeet Singh Mand (disciple of Pt.

This project brought Indian classical music to mainstream recognition on national and cultural media and with influential community champions, reaching new audiences and igniting diverse interests for the advancement of Indian Classical Music in its authentic form.
