The Royal Opera House, in collaboration with Avid Learning, has put together a showcase of South Asian voices. The musical tribute pays homage to classical music stars. “Sraddha stands for devotion,” says Isheeta Chakrvarty, the main artiste. “We’re paying homage to some iconic women artistes by presenting the songs people know them by, but with a different take.” While their music is rooted in their unique traditions and culture, it’s also universal, she feels, and the programme aims to convey that. Three of her personal favourites include Pakistani maestro Abida Parveen; thumri and ghazal legends Shobha Gurtu and Begum Akhtar, whose songs will be sung alongside original compositions of hers, written by songwriters Meenakshi Pathak and Ginny Diwan. They will be accompanied by Amandeep Singh on guitar, bassist Adil Kurwa, percussionist Vaibhav Wavikar, violinist Nastya Saraswati, who will be playing the saxophone and flute along with the violin, and Swarupa Ananth, the guest performer for the evening. Expect a soulful tribute that celebrates the songs, voices, and lives of these diverse women.
