music that’s a little less familiar to
Western audiences and no less amazing:
the music of India’s Bollywood. This
concert will reacquaint you with old
favorites by John Williams, Ennio
Morricone and Danny Elfman, but also
introduce you to the spicy sounds of
“Meera Joota Hai Japani,” “Jai Ho,” and
“Badtameez Dil,” sung by Akshay Hari.

purchasing tickets and other details.
