“A spiritual command of her instrument that borders on the mystical”
FORBES

Chapters is a joint commission with the BBC Proms and features music from Anoushka Shankar’s three ‘Chapter’ albums, tracing her musical and geographical journeys. Robert Ames conducts CCOHK in these new orchestral arrangements of the trilogy – Forever, For Now, How Dark it is Before Dawn and We Return to Light.
