Samyo - The UK's National South Asian Youth Orchestra
A dazzling array of Indian instruments; the most talented young musicians of the country; scintillating rhythms and unique new music by maestro composers - these are the hallmarks of Samyo, reputedly the only orchestra of its kind in the world. Samyo was created by Milapfest in 2002, to recreate a brand new form of Indian music performances with all-Indian classical music instruments. The music is written especially for the orchestra, and fuses both the North and South Indian Classical styles, with a contemporary twist.
