An Evening of Symphonic Bollywood
This program, Symphony Masala, celebrates Indian culture via a history-spanning symphonic performance of Bollywood songs reimagined in their first-ever arrangements for Western instruments. Created by celebrated vocalist Anuradha ‘Juju’ Palakurthi and OSM Music Director Roger Kalia, the show presents iconic songs from the last 70 years of Indian films. OSM’s Symphonic Bollywood show will be the first performance of Symphony Masala which includes dancers for a vivid and festive experience. We are also pleased to be presenting global artist Charenjeet “CJ” Virdi, renowned for his soulful vocals in film, television, and interactive media.
