For the last of this year’s season of programmes, we welcome back Akash Sultan, an unusually emotional singer. Sultan was a key member of the Grand Union Orchestra from 2000, and played a leading role in all our main shows up to Undreamd Shores (2015) when he returned to his native Sylhet to devote himself to charitable work.
In this concert - directed as usual by Grand Union’s internationally-celebrated tabla maestro Yousuf Ali Khan, and supported by musicians from the Grand Union Orchestra – he will sing some songs from the Grand Union repertoire, composed by Tony Haynes, as well as traditional Bengali songs. Here is a taster, with Louise Elliott on flute – Rimjhimim.
Admission free, donations welcome!
