He has performed all across the world, and inaugurated the World Festival of Sacred Music with His Holiness the Dalai Lama. He gave an interview for Performance on 3, ahead of the London premiere of his new work for sarod and chamber orchestra - Samaagam, his first venture into composing for Western Classical and Indian Classical instruments, which is broadcast this evening.
