About CBSO & The Orchestral Qawwali Project

Running time  This concert will last approximately 2 hours.

Spirituality and the orchestra combine for a goose-bump-inducing evening.

Widely regarded as the biggest step forward for the art-form in decades, the Orchestral Qawwali Project has captivated audiences through its unique combination of Sufi poetry, Indian Classical dance and orchestral arrangements. Written and directed by composer Rushil Ranjan, the Project features the soaring vocals of Abi Sampa in effortless combination with rich orchestral arrangements performed by the CBSO and the dynamic grace of Parkash Pal’s tabla
