Summary
Conductor Melvin Tay leads the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, vocalist Abi Sampa, and pianist Rushil Ranjan in a programme of orchestral Qawwali at Symphony Hall.
Why it's fantastic
The sound of ancient Sufi poetry meets the power of a full symphony orchestra in this collaboration led by vocalist Abi Sampa. It is a rare chance to hear the hypnotic, rhythmic intensity of qawwali music reimagined through a cinematic lens that fills every corner of the room.
