Safety first: the Symphony Orchestra of India makes its London debut

Zane Dalal/ Symphony Orchestra of India

Cadogan Hall, 20th February 2019

It was a case of “East meets West” – both musically and literally – last night at Cadogan Hall as the Symphony Orchestra of India continued its debut tour of the UK (launched the previous evening in Birmingham) with its first London appearance. The programme neatly paired Orient and Occident, with the caravan of silks and spices in Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade preceded by a distinctly Indian take on western concerto form in Zakir Hussain’s Peshkar, spotlighting the tabla.
