SUMMARY:World-renowned Sitar maestro Baluji Shrivastav OBE to perform at Sensasian Family Fun Day
DESCRIPTION:Newcastle-under-Lyme – Internationally acclaimed musician and composer Baluji Shrivastav OBE will bring the captivating sounds of classical Indian music to the Sensasian Family Fun Day at the New Vic Theatre on Saturday 26 July. The performance is part of a full day of free, family-friendly cultural activities celebrating South Asian heritage. \nBaluji’s set will showcase the expressive depth of the sitar and introduce audiences to the rich musical traditions of the Indian subcontinent. \n\nDescribed by the Evening Standard as “sitarist to the stars,” Baluji Shrivastav OBE is one of the world’s leading composers and instrumentalists. Born blind in Uttar Pradesh, India, Baluji’s remarkable journey through music has seen him collaborate with global icons including Stevie Wonder, Coldplay, Massive Attack, Shakira, and \nMadness. His work spans classical, jazz, world music, and film composition — with credits including Disney’s Million Dollar Arm, NBC’s Outsourced, and the Urdu opera Sohini and Mahival, co-composed with Oscar-winner Dario Marianelli. \nBaluji is also the founder of the Inner Vision Orchestra, the UK’s only professional ensemble of blind musicians, underlining his lifelong commitment to inclusive arts and cultural accessibility. \nThe Sensasian Family Fun Day begins at 12:00 PM and includes a vibrant programme of performances, dance workshops, music, film, and henna painting, developed in collaboration with local South Asian communities. All events are free and open to the public. \nDon’t miss this rare opportunity to experience the soul-stirring music of a globally celebrated artist in an intimate setting. \n \nhttps://www.newvictheatre.org.uk/productions/sensasian-festival-free-family-day/%20\n
