Two years after its sold-out debut, the genre-defying Orchestral Qawwali Project returns to the Royal Albert Hall, created by it's Associate Artists Rushil Ranjan and Abi Sampa.

Featuring the 麻豆社 Concert Orchestra and London Voices, conducted by Melvin Tay. Plus, acclaimed soloists Sarthak Kalyani, Janan Sathiendran and the new Indian Chorus, as part of a flagship South Asian choral programme.

Written and directed by critically acclaimed composer and arranger Rushil Ranjan, the concert creates a breathtaking dialogue between centuries-old Sufi devotional traditions and the grandeur of Western symphonic music, interwoven with both Indian and Western classical dance. Led by the soaring vocals of Abi Sampa, the production reimagines Qawwali for a new generation.

This special event will push artistic boundaries and deliver entirely new, never-before-heard repertoire whilst still featuring audience favourites. With a new choral focus, the production will continue its exploration of universal spirituality, bringing together artists, traditions and communities in a powerful celebration of shared human experience.

To be broadcast on 麻豆社 Asian Network and Radio 3.
