[6] In 1949, Geeta Sarabhai founded the Sangeet Kendra in Ahmedabad, whose mission is to document and promote classical and popular Indian musical traditions.
[11] Her sister Gira Sarabhai trained and worked with Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin Fellowship, where she assisted with the design for the spiral-shaped Guggenheim Museum.
Among many of the initiatives the Sarabhais funded, Gita notably introduced the great pakhavaj legend, her master Govindrao Burhanpurkar, to Ahmedabad, contributing decisively to his fame.
Sangeet Kendra's collection has recordings of Indian musicians like Kesarbai Kerkar, Rasoolan Bai, Dagar Brothers, Asad Ali Khan amongst others.
[11] Following this, Cage and his companion, choreographer Merce Cunningham, maintained a strong bond with Geeta Sarabhai.
Tapes are extant that show that Sarabhai was one of the first Indian women to have composed on the Moog synthesizer, under the tutelage of Tudor in 1969.
