New Delhi, February 7, 2026 – NotesAndSargam, in association with CSR TIMES, successfully presented the third consecutive edition of Instrumelodies, a live instrumental music event that drew around 200 music enthusiasts. The evening featured captivating performances by predominantly amateur instrumentalists, weaving a vibrant mosaic of folk and film melodies from India’s diverse regions and beyond.

Organised in the Lajpat Bhawan Auditorium, the program commenced at 6:00 PM with registration, a welcome address, and the ceremonial lighting of the inaugural lamp by dignitaries. Artists showcased an array of instruments—including flute, harmonica, accordion, saxophone, beatbox, and percussion—rendering regional gems such as Rajasthani “Kesariya Balam,” Punjabi “Latthe di chaadar,” Kashmiri “Hukus Bukus,” and Bengali “Boli O Nonodi,” alongside hits like “Rang Barse” and “Yaar Bina Chain Kahan Re.” Standout performers included Raja Guha on flute, Pritam Chandel on saxophone, Shakti Kohli and Sajal Dhir on harmonica, Tejas Sharma on beatbox, Kunalji on accordion, and Pradip Das on percussion. Spanning nearly three hours, the event highlighted self-taught talents, with 17-year-old Gandharv Kunal receiving the Performer of the Day award for his versatility on guitar, melodica, harmonica, and accordion.

Organized by NotesAndSargam (notesandsargam.com) and CSR TIMES (csrtimes.org), the event enjoyed prime sponsorship from GAIL, alongside support from TERI, First Step Foundation, Indian Achievers’ Forum, Dr Mongas, Uni-Style Imaging, MyRecycler, and E Waste Recycler India. All performers were honored with the ‘Sangeetvid Samman 2026,’ inspiring many attendees to pursue music amid the amateur artists’ mesmerizing displays. The evening concluded with a vote of thanks and dinner.

Program director Prashant Das remarked, “While professional musicians always find stages, NotesAndSargam provides platforms for equally talented amateurs.” Core team Sajal Dhir added, “Anyone can perform on our stage irrespective of their age.  The only criteria is that you have to be melodious.”  Raja Guha echoed, “We aim to draw children away from screens toward musical instruments for holistic growth.”

This edition solidified Instrumelodies’ legacy in fostering amateur talent and India’s musical heritage, with future installments anticipated.
