Strings For A Cause began with a smile. When Roshan was about nine years old and still learning classical Western violin, he performed at a fundraising concert for Alzheimer’s disease. Looking out at the audience, he saw how much joy his music brought to the people in the room. That moment stayed with him and led to a simple question: what if young musicians used their talent to help others? In January 2025, Roshan started Strings For A Cause, and Amira joined from the very beginning. Our first performance was on July 26, 2025, at the South Florida Hindu Temple, for the Navjeevan seniors group.
Over the years, Roshan has immersed himself in Carnatic violin, the classical music tradition of South India, and has excelled in it. Together, we have practiced, performed, and served. We have played at festivals, temples, and community gatherings, and we are always looking for more ways to help, whether at a festive celebration, a quiet gathering of seniors, or a fundraising gala.
Our band is built around a brother and sister, Roshan and Amira, who both play the violin, performing primarily in the Carnatic style of South India. We are joined by two teen guest musicians: one who plays the veena, a plucked string instrument from India, and one who plays the tabla, a pair of traditional Indian hand drums. Together, these instruments add melody and rhythm to ourperformances. We are a small group with big hopes, and we welcome other young musicians under 25 who share our mission.
We love music from many cultures, and we see that as one of our greatest strengths. When young people make music from different traditions, they lear to listen, to respect one another’s heritage, and to create something that brings people together.
