Why see A.R. Rahman?
One of the world's greatest modern composers
Awarded the accolade of the world's most prominent and prolific film composer by Time Magazine, critically acclaimed composer, musician and producer A.R. Rahman has been shaping the face of modern Indian cinematic music and its international integration since he wrote the score for his first film in 1992. Since then he has garnered two Academy Awards, two Grammies, a Bafta and a Golden Globe for his astounding body of work that includes the soundtrack for Danny Boyle's 2008 smash hit Slumdog Millionaire.
Often referred to as 'Motzart of Madras', the Chennai-born maestro now heads out on a special event which will feature a range of songs and scores from throughout his stellar career. Rahman's talent lies in blending the Eastern classical tradition with an exciting modern flavour and a deep understanding of the nuances of moods and emotions. When this heady mix is brought to stage it's truly magnificent to behold.

Fabulous Performance At A Matching Venue
The grand venue was only surpassed by the artist on centerstage - A R Rahman.
First, the venue - A superb mix of colors, technology, comfort and scale, makes this one
of the best venues for concerts in the USA. I have been to a fair share of those around
the country and this has to be at the top of the list.
Then, the performer - A R Rahman. Not enough has been said about the genius of the
man. With a simple warm-up and a modest introduction (considering the rock-star
status), he embraced the audience and led all through a fantastic performance. Must be
second nature to him and the artistes, but for the audience it was fresh and
exhilarating. He has a little bit of the Ray Charles moves when he is at the piano with his
glasses on. That adds to the mystique. The sufi songs were a nice break, particularly
with aesthetic and stunning background visuals. Percussions were a highlight, though
almost outdone by the sitar.
Overall, an absolute blast of an evening, gaining lots of memories. ... Read more
