A unique performance by the internationally renowned Symphony Orchestra of India at the Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) will enthrall the audience today at the race course.

From being a venue to high-octane horse racing, the club has opened its premises for enticing cultural performances such as these.
The Symphony Orchestra of India includes 75 talented musicians conducted by the famed violinist Marat Bisengaliev, who also serves as its esteemed Music Director, also comprise some of the most talented classical musicians across the world. The climax of the show will see Mahadevan performing along with the orchestra for the first time ever.

Vivek Jain, chairman of RWITC, says, “These events are designed to showcase our destination, and offer a greater ensemble for our members to enjoy and partake in. And we are proud to present for the second year in a row a superlative evening in partnership with the NCPA.”
