This is one of the most exciting concerts I’ve ever announced! On the 27th of November I’ll be premiering a new commission for the incredible @thecbso and @abisampa . What’s even more exciting is that the rest of the concert will feature music from my biggest inspirations including @theofficialnusrat , @nitinsawhney , @chriscaramusic , John Williams and AR Rahman. I feel incredibly grateful that @nitinsawhney himself will join the CBSO on stage live . This is in addition to an incredible list of guest artists including @aakashodedra.global , @the_flute_guy and @the_tablaist . Conducted as always by the phenomenal @melvintay_ , I literally couldn’t picture a more exciting lineup of musicians. I can’t wait to see you there ! Ticket links in our bio
