Voices4Values.
Voices4Values is a family-led music initiative, a mother, daughter, and son trio that performs Indian classical and Western music, and also blends the two genres into cross-cultural fusion. We use music as a bridge across generations, cultures, and values. We sing to connect "music with meaning".
