The medley of singers is led by none other than Prof S D Madhur, himself an accomplished Violinist and singer. Joining him will be the accomplished singer and a teacher, Sandhya Rao. She has been a regular singer on the All India Radio and has sung with Lata Mangeshkar herself. Along with them is Arun Khotkar, the veteran versatile singer and judge of Music Reality shows in New Zealand, who also has his own music school.
Viraj Maki will also be performing some of his favourite ghazals, whom Aucklanders have heard in several shows singing hindi film songs of yesteryears. Adding to this medley is the multi-talented Roshan, who has been a popular Ghazal singer. Kanika Deish will be singing in her usual soulful voice and will be the one to watch.
So shall the audience eagerly await Shobha Pathak. Harish Khatnoor will render the ghazals of Ghulam Ali, Anoop Jalota, Pankaj Udhas as well as Mehdi Hassan. The man behind this dream, Nisar Mirzaji, will also sing ghazals of his favourite singers.
