Hi Shen,
Could you please let me know the exact venue in Brisbane where the Durga Puja was held. Also are you aware of any music schools in Brisbane teaching Indian music?
The Durga Puja was held at Stafford State School.
There are a few Indian music teachers in Brisbane - what do you want to study?
Thanks for the info. I was interested in learning Classical Indian music (vocal). Are there any Music teachers close to City or UQ?
Well, there's Diwakar Mothay in Nundah...
Hi Shen,
Any idea where is the Durga Puja being held in Brisbane this year?
Well Anonymous,
According to Ram Choudhury (Bengali Society of Qld president):
"BSQ is celebrating Durgapuja on 4th and 5th October at Stafford State School. The cultural programme starts at 7 PM on 4/10."
