LAHORE MUSIC FORUM
Lahore Music forum is a non-profit organization established in Lahore in the year 2011 for supporting classical musicians and to raise the musical standards of music in Pakistan. Over the past few years, there has been a spurt of activity to try and raise the exposure of classical music in Pakistan.
However, the quality of music being presented is rapidly declining resulting in a shortage of musicians from the younger generation who are competent enough to carry forward the legacy of their forefathers. The Lahore Music Forum aspires to improve the presentation of classical music by emphasizing the aesthetic aspects of our music tradition. The decline in standards is due largely to the absence of a platform where musicians could perform for fellow musicians and connoisseurs. It is a paradox that musicians, who in theory know more about music than anyone else, lose sight over the years of aesthetics and concentrate only on technique and physical stamina. The Forum aspires to improve the performance standards by constructive criticism and suitable honorarium.
