In 2005, Global violin icon Dr. L Subramaniam and Bollywood playback legend Kavita Krishnamurti Subramaniam started The Subramaniam Foundation.

“A truly global music festival”

Dr L Subramaniam started the LGMF in 1992 with Vijayashree Subramaniam in memory of his father and guru, Professor V Lakshminarayana. Its central idea is to allow everyone to enjoy diverse musical styles. To that end, the festival showcases some of the world’s best artists and presents live concerts. So far, millions of listeners have attended the Lakshminarayana Global Music Festival concerts. Artists from over 25 countries have come to India, and the LGMF has been presented globally across 75 cities. LGMF has also collaborated with many international festivals, including Berlin Music Festival, The WOMADelaide, Chicago World Music Festival, and Trans-Siberian Festival. LGMF has also been presented digitally on social media platforms in recent years. The Lakshminarayana Youth Festival has been a unique addition to promoting young talent in recent years.
