Over 55 years ago the seed was sown for the birth of Western classical music in Jamshedpur. The present owner, Ronald D’Costa, and his sister were students of the renowned Professor Innocencey Franz under whose guidance they learned to play the violin and the piano. Prof Franz was not only a musician but also a composer. He composed the song ‘The Dove’. Earlier, he had played in an orchestra that recorded music for Hindi films in Bombay. He retired and settled in this city. Thanks to him, Ronald completed the VI-grade exam in 1960 from Trinity School of Music, London. Ronald’s sister, Celine, went on to complete the eighth grade. Prof. Franz left Jamshedpur in the seventies. Since then, there has been no one in Jamshedpur who taught or learned Western classical music for the Exams. Read more
