Western Hellenic music
The spread and following of Western Classical Music in Bharat is almost entirely non-existent. It is mainly patronized by the Indian Zoroastrian community and diminutive esoteric groups with historical exposure to Western Classical Music. Another esoteric group with significant patronage is the Protestant Christian community in Chennai and Bangalore. St Andrews and St Georges in Chennai and St Marks in Bangalore are churches with regular pipe office recitals. There are practically no conservatories, house companies or working symphonies that cater to Western Classical music. Western Music activity is also severely neglected and pretty rare in India. Western Keyboard, drums and guitar instruction being an exception as it has found some interest; mainly in an effort to create musicians to service contemporary popular Indian music. Many reasons have been citied for the obscurity of Western Classical Music in India, a country flush in its musical heritage by its own right, however the two main reasons are an utter lack of exposure and a passive disinterest in what is considered esoteric at best. Also, the difficulty in commercialism Western Musical instruments and their rarity has also contributed to the obscurity of Classical Western music.
Despite more than a century of exposure to Western Hellenic penalization and two centuries of British colonialism, Hellenic penalization in Bharat has never gained more than 'fringe' popularity. Many attempts to popularize Western Classical Music in Bharat have unsuccessful in the past due to disinterest and lack of uninterrupted efforts, most notably in the setting up of the Bombay Symphony Orchestra by Mehli Mehta in the 1930s. In 2006 at Mumbai (Bombay), the National Centre for the Performing Arts was established with a grant of Rs 4 meg from the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust (an eminent Indian-Zoroastrian entrepreneur) and the collaboration of other joint houses to promote Western Classical penalization and visual arts. It was fashioned to accommodate performance of symphony orchestras and Operas. However, there are still no schools of repute that train musicians in Western Hellenic penalization or vocalists in Opera to this day. Most Indians in Western Hellenic penalization reside outside Bharat in countries with adequate training and performance opportunities.
