Dr Rakesh Joshi Artistic Director-Conductor | Hallé Youth Choir | New Sinfonia | Raga Symphony | Bharatiya Vrund Gaan | SHIVA

Light up your autumn with a joyful celebration of Diwali, the Festival of Lights.

As the evenings draw in, bring family and friends together for Diwali Lights: an uplifting evening of live music, expressive dance and shared celebration at The Bridgewater Hall.

Embracing the festival’s themes of light, hope and togetherness, it’s a chance to celebrate the season and experience the sounds, stories and spirit of India. Under the direction of Dr Rakesh Joshi, Raga Symphony shares the stage with Ramayan dances accompanied by live music, bringing storytelling and movement to the festivities. The resonant voices of Bharatiya Vrund Gaan (BVG), the Indian adult choir, join the youthful energy of SHIVA, the Indian youth choir, and the Hallé Youth Choir for an evening filled with colour and creativity.

Whether Diwali is a cherished family tradition or you’re joining the celebrations for the first time, you’ll find a warm welcome. Gather your loved ones and enjoy an evening of music, dance and festive joy.

The 10% group bookings discount will be applied once you add 10 or more full price tickets to your basket.
