Played by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
With performances from AR Rahman and other musicians from India
A world without AR Rahman would be a world without Bollywood.
Described by Time as āthe world's most prolific and popular composer', the Indian singer, songwriter, composer and philanthropist has influenced every corner of his home country's cinema culture. In this Asia TOPA exclusive, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra will perform the Music of AR Rahman, with the superstar himself taking to the stage as special guest.
Fusing the delicate intricacy of eastern classical composition with the innovations of electronic music and the majesty of traditional orchestral arrangements, AR Rahman's music has earned him two Academy Awards, two Grammy Awards, a BAFTA and a Golden Globe.
Featuring signature works such as Jai Ho and Slumdog Millionaire Suite, this one-of-a-kind concert will see the MSO joined by international guest soloists S. Navin on flute and Asad Khan on sitar as well as vocal soloists and an epic 30 voice choir.
Overall the show and A.R.Rahman's band were amazing! We enjoyed it so much, beside the Scotiabank arena chaos for reallocating our section tickets and not be able to get any snacks, it was fun!
The concert last 2:20 min only . Its not fair at all . The sound system was good AAR was really outstanding but he could continue little longer . Thanks
Concert was amazing. I enjoyed most with the Hindi songs. Since A R Rahman has two group of audiences-Hindi group and Tamil group , I think he should do two concerts -one in Hindi and one in Tamil. š
Could not hear vocals very well due to unbalanced audio. The speakers had the bass and treble cranked up too high. Rest of the show was good but I could not really hear too well as I had to cover my ears regularly.
The concert was out of this world. The choice of songs was excellent. The music was mesmerizing. The graphics in the background were amazing. The overall experience was fabulous.
I've been to a lot better concerts, this one wasn't great. As much as I love A R Rahman and was looking forward to hearing him at the concert, I felt disappointed. Sound quality wasn't good Poor energy of the performance And the worst of all was the annoying animation on the screen. Clearly no body took the audiences sitting far back into account. We barely saw anyone's face. Having a projection of the stage on screen would have been helpful instead of showing that stupid irrelevant animation
Scotia Bank Arena is not made for musical concerts. Very poor acoustics. Rahman tried his best to make it up but I would strongly recommend any other venue next time around.
The worlds greatest musician and his team of highly talented performers entertained us, educated us on the various ragas and hindustani music and made us forget the pandemic and its woes for an evening. Thank you.
Phenomenal presentation by so many talented artists. It brought back so many great memories. I loved every minute of the concert. AR Rahman is a true gift.
Beautifully choreographed. Excellent venue staff. All in all a great experience
I went with low expectations and still this AR Rahman show managed to lower it further! I've decided to never go back to that show again! I couldn't hear whatever he was saying. The sound quality was poor. Most of the orchestra music is piped, and don't think they bothered to respect the paying audience, since they knew there are a lot of other people who will pay premium to come. I guess when your objective is only make money, the quality suffers as it showed here. And yeah he should spare his singing and focus what he can do better, that is composing...
Hands down the best concert!!! The show was sold out, which speaks volumes.
Rahman is a class act. But wish he brings veteran singers. Looked like lip syncing for few songs and many like Karaoke. India is big country with lots of languages. He can include 1-2 languages of preference when people buy ticket. Because he creates music in many Indian languages. With the above said method he can know how many people like Hindi, Tamil or Telugu for that city and he can tailor the play list. One concert he would have many Tamil songs and one concert many Hindi songs and people are upset. Better luck next time! It was a sell out crowd.
Great experience, AR Rahman is mesmerizing as always.
A R Rehman is a legend, and this show was so good, from the start till the end, we were lost in his voice and his magic of music.
I actually ended up seeing AR Rahman on his current tour in both a sold out Hollywood Bowl show in California and a half-filled Landers Center in Mississippi, and the commitment and energy the performers brought to both was phenomenal. The energy of the crowd was better in a sold out Hollywood Bowl, but I think I enjoyed the actual music more in the Landers Center. The only possible complaint I could make is that I'll still have those same songs stuck in my head two months from now!
Amazing good mix of all songs . Loved all of his Tamil songs ! Rahman is truly a legend ! ! Fox theater was majestic and really a good first time experience. I parked right outside the theater. Thanks Ticketmaster for suggesting parking right outside the theater.
Listening to AR Rahman music live is an incredible experience. My friends and I had a wonderful time dancing away to some of the best music and chartbusters. Just wish the venue was Orpheum and not the Landers Center as the sound system and seating is not the best at Landers.
Wonderful selection of songs. They maintained the vibe throughout. Lights and graphics were stunning. Most of us expected more live instruments and more artists. It was a good but not a grand show. Not sure if we would go again.
Had an amazing time our throats gave up screamingš. Made a good choice coming. king in music Indian music ndustry.
