Sandaara School of Music & Arts is a creative cultural space rooted in the heritage of Pashto music and open to the world. Based in Islamabad, we are passionate about preserving traditional art forms while exploring new ways of expression through cross-cultural exchange, music education, and artistic innovation. We believe that music is more than entertainment — it is a language of healing, dialogue, and transformation. That’s why Sandaara offers a wide range of programs including music and art classes, dance, audio/video recording, podcasting, instrument trade, and cultural events. Our work also extends to academic research, publications, and peacebuilding through storytelling and sound. Whether you’re a learner, artist, or researcher, Sandaara provides a welcoming ecosystem where knowledge meets creativity — and where culture becomes a path to connection and change.
