Department of Performing Arts

Established in 2024, the Department of Performing Arts at Guru Kashi University, Talwandi Sabo, Bathinda, functions under the Faculty of Visual and Performing Arts. It is a vibrant hub for musical excellence, cultural preservation, and artistic innovation.

The department is committed to nurturing the musical abilities of students through rigorous training across both traditional and contemporary forms of Indian music.

Our curriculum is thoughtfully crafted to provide comprehensive education in Hindustani Classical Vocal, Instrumental Music, Sufi Music, and Gurmat Sangeet. This is complemented by theoretical studies in musicology, composition, and performance analysis. Emphasizing both academic and practical learning, our programs foster creativity, discipline, and cultural awareness.
