Join us virtually or in-person for an exhilarating concert experience where you can lose yourself in music amid darkness, yet light up the lives of young people!

Young people around the world are making choices without guidance — in complete darkness — and end up living unhappy and purposeless lives. Career and college counseling in schools illuminates a path to a purposeful life.

The “Concert in the Dark” aims to raise funds for the IC3 Institute, which is helping build a culture of counseling in schools and provide direction to students.

Your donation per ticket of USD 100 / INR 8000 will contribute to the funds we are raising for the mission of “counseling in every school,” and will go toward the training and empowerment of school teachers.

Don't miss the chance to be a part of something meaningful, and enjoy a night of great music. Donate now to attend the concert and help us create a better world.

Our Approach
