History
In 2009, Akhil Jobanputra founded the Indian Classical Music Society of Vancouver (ICMSV) at the age of twelve with the aim to bring people together through music and dance, ICMSV acted as an online portal promoting local Indian classical music and dance programs and consolidating them in one space.
After much encouragement from the community, ICMSV was incorporated as a not-for-profit organization under the British Columbia Societies Act in December 2017. We've grown from just a single-handedly run Facebook page to an organization with a Board, volunteer committees, and receptive audience base.
