Having previously worked with orchestras across the world including Metropole Orkest, Britten Sinfonia and London Symphony Orchestra, Mercury Prize nominee and Ivor Novello Lifetime Achievement recipient, Sawhney is inspired by music from around the globe as he responds to multiculturalism, politics and spirituality. The wealth of artists he has worked with includes Sir Paul McCartney, Anoushka Shankar, Akram Khan, Pink Floyd and Jools Holland. He has released over 20 albums and written around 70 film and TV scores, including Netflix’s Mowgli and the BBC’s award-winning Human Planet series. Together with the Hallé, this multi-talented artist will perform tracks from his albums Prophesy, Beyond Skin, Immigrants and his latest release, Identity.
The concert will feature an interview with television and radio presenter, Nikki Bedi, in which Nitin discusses his new commission, Heart Suite.
