Across two decades HURT Foundation’s cultural programmes have attracted some of India’s finest vocalists and performers. These artists lent not only their talent but credibility — drawing attention, audiences, and partners to our causes. Talat Aziz, the celebrated ghazal singer, has been part of several high-profile musical evenings that married classical poetry with social purpose; his concerts are known for their emotional clarity and urbane charm.
Similarly, Padma Shri awardee Hariharan — a singer whose range spans ghazal, playback and fusion — exemplifies the bridge between tradition and contemporary appeal. His performances, whether in classical settings or large stages, brought diverse audiences together and reinforced how music can be a vehicle for empathy and engagement.
Kavita Seth’s Sufi evenings added another dimension: spiritual lyricism and a devotional intensity that resonates deeply with listeners. Her repertoire of Sufi poetry and soulful melodies has been performed at major cultural festivals and intimate concerts alike; these Sufi nights proved particularly effective in creating reflective, emotionally generous audiences who respond to social appeals.
Each artist contributed in unique ways. Some performances were benefit concerts that raised funds; others were cultural evenings that amplified HURT Foundation’s voice in civic circles. Beyond immediate returns, these collaborations helped the organisation build long-term relationships with donors, institutions, and civic leaders. The crossover between art and social action is subtle but powerful: audiences come for music, and stay for a purpose. That dual impact is core to why cultural patronage remains one of our most effective outreach tools.
