The artists performing in Songs of the Soul have taken Sri Chinmoy's creations and from them imagined a journey through a vast landscape of musical expression - classical and modern, Eastern and Western, tranquil and fast-paced, contemplative and joyful.

  • Adesh and Ajita Widmer

    Adesh offers his beautiful, improvisational creations based on Sri Chinmoy's melodies, which flow from his sitar in an unending stream.

  • Agnikana's Group

    This Czech instrumental group was founded by Agnikana Senkyrova in 1997, and its 16 members play a whole gamut of instruments, including indian harmonium, guitar, concert and wooden flutes, santur and glockenspiel. Their music is extremely soulful and ethereal - mixing angelic voices with acoustic instrumental arrangements of Sri Chinmoy's music to great effect. A Songs of the Soul favourite since the concert series started in 2008, their music has been a highlight that has stayed in the hearts of audiences long after they have left the concert.
