The orchestra delight audiences with their unique blend of joyful music from all over the world which moves between songs from Iran, Lebanon, Afghanistan, India, Nigeria, to soulful Gospel and Blues to sublime Indian Ragas and Western Classical compositions. They regularly tour and perform in top venues around the UK and have released music with Arc/Naxos. Their performance will feature the premiere of the IBSA World Games Anthem, composed especially for this event by Linda Shanovitch.
