Summary
Melvin Tay conducts the CBSO, vocalist Abi Sampa and Indian classical dancers in a programme of Sufi poetry and orchestral arrangements at Symphony Hall Birmingham.
Why it's fantastic
This collaboration brings the ancient, spiritual intensity of Sufi poetry to life through a rich symphonic lens. Abi Sampa’s soaring vocals lead a fusion of Indian classical dance and cinematic textures, creating a powerful introduction to these centuries-old traditions for anyone curious about how different musical worlds can meet.
