The global premiere of 'Peshkar' marks the first concerto for tabla and orchestra for the internationally-renowned maestro who will perform it along with the SOI.
"It is a unique melodic piece that retains improvisational expression of the tabla, with structured layering of varied instruments, all culminating in an overwhelming experience," organisers said.
"The first commission by an orchestra is an important milestone and I am delighted to be the first composer commissioned by the Symphony Orchestra of India. I hope our audiences in India and abroad will enjoy and appreciate this unique musical experience," the tabla mastereo said.
This also marks the first performance in Europe by the SOI, as well as the European premiere of 'Peshkar'.
