Oldest choir brings Beatles, Elvis' music to Delhi

MUMBAI: After a successful Europe performance tour the national capital's oldest choir is set to bring the music of love to local audiences.The Capital City Minstrels (CCM) would regale Delhiites with popular music of the 50's and 60's including those from the Beatles and Elvis Presley, says a PTI report.

"We had good reviews wherever we performed in Europe. The music for the Delhi concert is however going to be completely different," Usha Srivastava, one of the founding members told PTI ahead of the choir's concert here.

A Bharatanatyam dancer accompanied the choir led by a Hungarian conductor during the course of their "Viva la Musica - Songs beyond Borders" tour where they gave performances at a castle near Dusseldorf, a gallery in Budapest and a conservatory in Paris.

The CCM enthralled foreign audiences with a mix of Hindi devotional songs, Gospel music, traditional kohli songs and scores from German, French and Hungarian music.

In the 2009 Spring Concert "How Deep Is Your Love," the 60-member band will give two performances the national capital. They are also scheduled to performances in Sanawar and Kasauli.

"We will have songs from Beatles and Elvis Presley and also songs from the Renaissance period, which we can call as ballads," says Srivastava.
