3) Are there tickets for adults to attend?

4) Why should we pay for membership?
We need your support to continue the mission of this organization, and we truly appreciate this.
Our mission is to nurture Carnatic music, encourage local talent and support professional artists.
We are very grateful to the teachers who support the cause of Carnatic music, without whom CMAI would flounder.
We encourage family memberships; you also get to attend a couple of professional concerts with the membership
We encourage parents to help children attend concerts as part of their educational experience in Carnatic music, and to develop the next generation of fans to keep our precious heritage alive.
There are costs involved in renting performance spaces, artists fees and nominal expenses for food and supplies. The money obtained by CMAI goes purely towards this.
We do pay the Hindu temple for the facility rental also, as we are distinct entity from the temple.
All the committee members are dedicated volunteers who support CMAI's mission.
Since Carnatic music is Divine music, and based on our Hindu religion, your support of CMAI is as valuable as supporting our Hindu Temple.
