A Musical Odyssey
Man's World

A Musical Odyssey

When the National Centre of Performing Arts (NCPA) in Mumbai launched the Symphony Orchestra of India (SOI), it was without knowing if it could find enough musicians or audiences to fill up the auditorium. But, in ten years, it has launched 20 successful seasons, invited guest conductors such as Charles Dutoit and Augustin Dumay and soloists such as Zakir Hussain and Maria João Pires, and toured Switzerland and Russia. It has launched a school to train future musicians and created several avenues for people to understand and appreciate western classical music more. As India’s only professional symphony orchestra, it has accomplished so much in so little time. Friend and fan of the SOI, Anil Dharker recounts what the orchestra has come to mean to Mumbai.
