Auburn Indian Music Ensemble

Auburn Indian Music Ensemble (AIME) explores Indian music with trained vocalists accompanied by traditional Indian Instruments. 'We' are essentially a group of students from different departments across Auburn University along with and community members, each one bringing in their interest in music and different talents like singing or playing instruments like guitar, piano, cajun etc. Some of us are trying music for the first time while some of us are quite accomplished and some of us are here for the cultural experience. This eclectic mix makes for a fun learning environment. Our ensemble features traditional Indian acoustic instruments like Sitar, Harmonium, Tanpura and Tabla - the Indian drums. We get creative with the improvised aspects of Indian music with compositions in diverse genres ranging from classical to contemporary and folk music. The spontaneity makes it all the more enjoyable with performances on and off campus.
