Saffron (the colour of dawn)
Instrumental composition featuring Pratik Shrivastava on sarod, Shadaj Godkhindi on flute, Mehtab Ali Niazi on sitar and Ambi Subramaniam on violin, woven together with the iconic Carnatic composition ‘Suprabhatam’, originally sung by the legendary icon M. S. Subbulakshmi. This piece will be accompanied by a fantastic combination of Hindustani and Carnatic percussion played by master percussionists.

Maati ke Rang
‘Song of the Soil’, a Bengali folk tune, will be presented by Kaushiki Chakraborty accompanied by students of the SOI Music Academy and Ambi Subramaniam.

Green (possibility)
A composition depicting endless possibilities of the future of our motherland. Composed by Shantanu Moitra, it will be sung by the children’s choir alongside students of the SOI Music Academy and Indian instrumentalists.

Heartbeat
Green is the colour of life, depicted by the human heartbeat which is portrayed by this composition. A percussion ensemble will celebrate life in the piece. Folk, tribal, Hindustani and Carnatic percussion instruments will weave magic in the cycle of 72 BPM which is considered normal beat of the human heart.

White (contentment)
A song on my country and the spirit of Motherland by Kaushiki Chakraborty.

Prayer
A duet featuring Aruna Sairam and Osman Mir will incude Vedic chants with Azaan and Sufi compositions to celebrate the beauty of our country where all prayers resonate equally in everyone’s heart and soul.

Mera Des
