Quoted: It's probably as revolutionary and groundbreaking as Mozart gets these days. A German-based quartet staged Saudi Arabia's first-ever performance of European classical music in a public venue before a mixed gender audience.
The concert, held at a government-run cultural center, broke many taboos in a country where public music is banned and the sexes are segregated even in lines at fast food outlets.

I have heard him he is excellent. I am not sure if I agree with him completely
Quoted: Internationally renowned flautist Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia feels that in the midst of the IT savvy Indian youth, overtly charmed with western culture, Indian classical music is losing its sheen and so is our tradition.
When asked which contemporary musician influences him the most, Chaurasia says he particularly likes compositions by A.R. Rahman. "Rahman is very talented and his music is very soothing. I especially liked his music in the film 'Lagaan'," he said.

Quoted: It's stunning to learn that others don't share our tastes. Then again, how did an entire generation embrace faux wood paneling, shag carpets and putting thick plastic on their furniture? Well, someone thought it was a great idea!
Hey, I like Bob Dylan's voice and kept him off this list because I could! Instead, I found the ten singers most likely to make you drive off the road.

Quoted: Chennai, March 12 (IANS) After waiting for seven years, India's most famous contemporary music composer A.R. Rahman Wednesday launched his first full-fledged orchestra. It has been named "Global Music" and is the first homegrown orchestra.
"I kept hearing someone is setting up an orchestra and waited for seven long years for someone else to set up an orchestra like the New York, London or Budapest Philharmonic in India. But it did not happen", Rahman, whose recent works include music for "Guru" and "Jodhaa Akbar", told the media here.

Good summary of Indian classical music.
Quoted: Indian classical music originated from Vedic chants or Sama music. This music chiefly consisted of chanting of hymns in praise of the Vedic gods. The musical structure of the chants was characterised by descending order of notes, initially two to five which later was increased to seven notes. Gradually various developments took place and this culminated in the Raga tradition.

I went to see it last week. It was extremely enjoyable.
Quoted: CURTAINS unfolds backstage at Boston’s Colonial Theatre, where a new musical could be a Broadway smash. When the show’s talent-free leading lady dies on opening night during her curtain call, Lieutenant Frank Cioffi (David Hyde Pierce) arrives on the scene to conduct an investigation. But the lure of the theatre proves irresistible and he finds himself just as drawn toward making the show a hit, as he is in solving the murder.
