Grand treat awaits Rahmaniacs


Over 100 orchestra musicians from Germany will perform live on Oscar-Grammy winner A R Rahman's composition in Chennai later today, as part of a program to celebrate 60 years of diplomatic relations between India and Germany.

Titled 'Classic Incantations- The German Film Orchestra Babelsberg performs A R Rahman', the program will be held at Sir Mutha Venkata Subba Rao auditorium at 7 pm. The team earlier conducted similar events in New Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai.

The tour coincides with the celebration of the centenary year of Studio Babelsberg, a film studio located in Germany. After starting its tour in Mumbai, the orchestra then travelled to Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore and now in Chennai, creating a new high point for music lovers across the nation.

Also inducted in the concert tour were about 30 former and current students of the K M Music Conservatory (KMMC), Chennai, a music school run by Rahman. "I hope to inspire youngsters to take up music composing in a big way through these concerts," says Rahman
