Bollywood meets Jazz - Ben Fernandez in concert with the Auckland Jazz Orchestra

‘Bollywood meets Jazz’ is a collaboration between Auckland based jazz pianist and composer Ben Fernandez and the Auckland Jazz Orchestra (AJO). This has been Ben's dream project for quite sometime now and it is finally happening after more than two years of work and preparation.

It will feature modern, original, funky jazz arrangements of Bollywood classics. This is the first concert of its type in the country. Vocal and instrumental tunes that will transport you back to the golden days of Bollywood music played by the 20 piece Auckland Jazz Orchestra along with special guest vocalists Ritika Puri and Gopal Nair.

Mix of tunes from romantic ballads to songs that will make you want to groove and dance. Hear some of Bollywood’s biggest ‘hit’ songs performed in an entirely new dimension while still retaining the original essence and flavour of the tunes. Special thanks to Foundation North, Creative NZ and TAPAC for their support for this project.

Do join us for our premiere concert on Tuesday 20th May (7:30pm) at TAPAC, Western Springs, Auckland.Seats are limited and it’s one show only…… so book early.
