The South Asian Symphony Orchestra is one of its kind. It features musicians from across the region and those of South Asian origin living around the world. It is the dream project of former diplomat Nirupama Rao.
In her diplomatic career spanning 40 years, and marked by key postings across the world, Nirupama Rao had hardly any time for a song.
After retirement, she has found a way of bringing her experience in diplomacy and passion for music together – by initiating a symphony orchestra that seeks to bind the region.
And that was how the South Asian Symphony Orchestra was formed.
