Heartland Festival Orchestra presents: Sitar & Symphony

Sitar and Symphony will be an immersive concert experience – a cross-cultural celebration of musical mastery, where the intricate rhythms and melodies of Indian classical music meet the elegance and structure of the Western orchestral tradition. This unique program features Bach’s dazzling Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, Arjun Verma’s Bach in Bengal—a fusion of Baroque and raga, Garden of Dreams, arranged for solo sitar, tablas, and chamber orchestra, plus a special interlude of classical Indian music for solo instruments alone. Bridging continents and centuries, this immersive concert invites you into a radiant dialogue of improvisation, harmony, and shared humanity.
