Harsha Makalande is an award winning Sri Lankan composer striving to enrich the repertoire of Serious Music in Sri Lanka, which is at it’s infancy. Serious Music (Sambhavya Sangeethaya in Sinhala) is an aspect of a country's art culture which may contribute to the integrity of that country. At the moment only about ten Sri Lankan composers have created works in this genre. Some of them are namely Sarath Fernando, Premasiri Khemadasa, Lalanath De Silva, Wasantha Fernanado, Sarath Wickrema, Harsha Makalande, Rohan De Livera, etc.

Harsha formed his ensemble Khrome in 1987 and has performed at many festivals here and abroad. The repertoire ranges from Jazz, Classical, Oriental to Pop music, and encourages the participation of musicians from a cross section of our society, especially young and developing musicians from all communities.
The composer’s intention and fervent hope is to create an identifiable sound in Serious Music that will encourage the audience to move away from the notion that Sri Lanka is a “Third World” country!
