A video on the South Asian Symphony Orchestra that features musicians from across the region and those of South Asian origin living around the world

It is the dream project of former diplomat Nirupama Rao. In her diplomatic career spanning 40 years, and marked by key postings across the world, Nirupama Rao had hardly any time for a song.
