Who would have thought that a College in the heart of Mumbai, the gateway to the West and the nucleus of Bollywood, would have its young people mesmerized by Indian classical music in a time when pop, rock and masala songs ruled the playlist of the Indian youth? Established in 1973, the Indian Music Group has been celebrating the beauty of Indian Music with the wholehearted participation of the student body of St. Xaviers College in encouraging our rich and cultural heritage through the presentation, promotion and documentation of Hindustani and Carnatic Music that has been resonating within the stone walls of our heritage structure, creating an Indian ambience since the last 40 years.
The IMG, as it is popularly called, saw its inception in December 1973 and its fulfillment in the next year under the direction of the then Principal, Fr. Lancy Pereira S.J. and Ustad Allarakha Khan, when a music library was established. Today, the IMG Music library houses an enviable collection of live (at IMG concerts), as well as pre-recorded music of present day artists and maestros of yesteryear and some old and rare records of 78 r.p.m along with a collection of books on classical music that are available to members.
