Till a few decades back, ghazal singers would be accompanied by musical instruments like the tabla, sarangi and harmonium. With time, the entry of western instruments like the violin, saxophone, guitar and keyboards into ghazal concerts paved the way for experimentation with the genre. This Saturday, a concert will aim to offer a unique experience to ghazal lovers in the city. Titled The Ghazal Symphony, it will see ace singers perform with a live symphony orchestra.
