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 ‘the 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.
I had a good experience. It was my first time and the hall not being too small and too big was just the right size to be able to see the performers and have a good experience!!
My family and I went to the concert this past Friday. There was seven of us as we expected this Legend to blow the roof off the building. But the night was a lacklustre. Don’t get me wrong, the singers were phenomenal but that’s about it. There was nothing exciting from the concert. It’s a shame because we know this Legend is talented and along with the singers, but they failed to make the show entertaining. I felt the show was uninspiring for the first hour but once the Bollywood songs were played in the last hour, that’s when the crowd got some energy. At the end of the day, I’m glad I got to see this Legend perform but I highly doubt I would ever go to his live show again in the future. Thanks.
