Anoushka Shankar, the Orchestral Qawwali Project and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra

From the vibrant Celtic Connections Festival in Glasgow, Anoushka Shankar and the SCO revisit her father's beautiful Third Sitar Concerto, premiered at Carnegie Hall in 2009.

From Celtic Connections this January, British Indian composer and sitar player Anoushka Shankar joins the Scottish Chamber Orchestra to perform Ravi Shankar鈥檚 Sitar Concerto No.3, written for Anoushka by her father. In a departure from traditional western concerto style, the piece blends improvisational playing and Indian classical ragas with western orchestral performance. Before the interval, the Orchestral Qawwali Project joins the SCO to perform a selection of ancient Sufi devotional songs known as Qawwali, orchestrated by composer Rushil and with the UK鈥檚 first female qawwal, acclaimed singer Abi Sampar.

Traditional Qawwali arr. Rushil: Wohi Khuda Hai
