Finding Their Place: MERASI MUSICIANS FROM DESERT RAJASTHAN

Music & Advocacy: “NO MORE MANGANIYAR (BEGGAR) WE ARE MERASI (MUSICIANS)” 

For 38 generations, the Merasi have performed and maintained a vibrant folk music legacy that is on the verge of extinction in modern India. Don’t miss this chance to be enthralled by impassioned artists who play a variety of unique instruments direct from the old camel caravan routes of the Thar Desert of Rajasthan, India.

Produced by US based Folk Arts Rajasthan www.FolkArtRajasthan.org

We’re Turning 100!


To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
