Musical Treats

A lot happens in Bangalore, in terms of music and theatre.  In the time that I have been in the city, many musical treats have been in store for us.  The Vienna University Choir under the direction of Vijay Upadhyaya was really amazing.  To hear them sing was wonderful and to be directed by an Indian from Lucknow, even more so!  Then there was a Sitar concert with an American, Paul Livingstone along with Pt. Vishwanath who performed at the St. Andrews Church on Cubbon Road. Incredible to see an American play an Indian instrument so skilfully and soulfully! The St. Andrew's Church Choir also gave a fine performance, with pipe organ accompaniment, to celebrate their 250 years.  Then we went to a Don Moen Concert at the St. Joseph's College grounds which was great.  A good one was the 100 children Glorious Choir which performed at the Richmond Town Methodist Church.  All in all, it was a grand feast! You can view it here too!
