London Bollywood Orchestra will kick off with its inaugural show on October 5 at Wilton’s Music Hall in east London , a historic venue dating back to the 1850s and often serving as a film set.
It has been chosen as an ideal setting for singers Rekha and Navin Kundra to croon along with a talented 15-piece orchestra composed of a diverse range of instruments from tabla and dholak to flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, guitars and violins. “We wanted a diverse show which gives us a span of decades and a span of styles, with music from the 1940s right up to the present day,” Tim Pottier, the music director of the new project, said. “When you are performing live music, everything is spontaneous, almost like living on the edge.
