It all started on a sudden impulse in the year 1952 when a few music lovers of Dover Lane and adjoining localities of southern part of Kolkata city with relentless effort and dedication staged a three night cultural program, which included drama, songs and music both classical and light, thereby laying the foundation of the present day The Dover Lane Music Conference. Today, The Dover Lane Music Conference, a voluntary and non-profit organization, has grown up over the years with the active support of the cultural fraternity of Kolkata.
