Young Musicians of the World!

Meet Young Musicians of the World ! Help, volunteer, do something along the same lines, spread the word - or just know!

Their father owns Saint-Amour, a well-known restaurant in Québec. Mathieu and Blaise Fortier run a school for local children in a small village named Kalkeri near Dharwar in North Karnataka, where Hindustani Classical music is the most important subject.

Mathieu's 3 little daughters and wife Agathe also live on the school campus, as well as numerous foreign and Indian visitors who stay for short periods to teach what they can to the children, and tell them stories from across the world. Life is simple, with few luxuries, but the days are full of music and the conviction that "a better world is possible".

Or better still, visit them at Kalkeri!
