Fresh from a sensational, sold-out performance at London’s iconic Alexandra Palace, the orchestra returns to Leicester with a spectacular new show celebrating two generations of Bollywood legends: father-and-son duo S. D. Burman and R. D. Burman.

A real-life royal, S. D. Burman brought graceful, melodic elegance to Indian cinema, while his son, the trailblazing R. D. Burman, broke boundaries and redefined Bollywood soundtracks with bold innovation. Together, their music shaped an era — and this performance brings it vividly to life.

What to expect:

• World-Class Musicianship: Under the direction of acclaimed conductor Tim Pottier, the orchestra blends top-tier talent from the West End, London’s classical world, and its vibrant jazz scene.
• Star-Studded Vocals: Award-winning vocalists Navin Kundra and Rekha lead the evening with powerful, emotive performances, capturing the heart and soul of the Burmans’ greatest hits.
• A Journey Through Hits & Hidden Gems: Expect soaring vocals, rich orchestral arrangements, and a genre-defying soundtrack that spans decades.

Whether you loved Sounds of Mumbai or are experiencing the magic of the London Bollywood Orchestra for the very first time, this is a musical journey you won’t want to miss. Book your tickets early to secure the best seats for this spectacular return!
