A few days earlier, the concert stage was a lively scene as musicians warmed up during rehearsal. Strings bowed, woodwinds blew and brass bellowed, adjusting tempo and tune as a team.
What may have seemed like musical dissonance to the casual onlooker gelled into a harmonious whole on the day of the concert, on Nov 23 in New Delhi. As the musicians took their seats and the welcoming applause died out, a hush descended upon the 300-plus audience, which held its breath in a collective feeling of anticipation.
