EVENT NAME

Shiraz

DESCRIPTION

The story behind the creation of the Taj Mahal is told in this remarkable historic black & white silent film which is accompanied by a live performance of a specially commissioned score from Sarvar Sabri that brings together musical influences from across the globe.

Commissioned in 2008 for the Lichfield Festival, Sarvar Sabri leads his ensemble in an exploration of melodic and rhythmic influences drawn from South Asian, Latin American, jazz and Western classical traditions. The line up of tabla, sarangi, violin, piano, vocals, bass, sitar, saxophone and flute combine to create a rich soundscape that seamlessly complements the original film.
