About this Event

OSTād’s - inspired by the fusion of “OST” (Original Soundtrack) and “Ustad” (Master) - celebrates mastery in music and the art of reimagining cinematic sound.

This Indo-Western instrumental experience brings together six classical and contemporary instruments - sitar, sarod, tabla, flute, violin, and piano - to transform English melodies and iconic film soundtracks into something entirely new.

  • From soulful ballads reminiscent of John Lennon and Adele to epic themes inspired by Hans Zimmer’s Interstellar, OSTād’s is an immersive, story-driven concert that bridges cultures, genres, and emotions.
  • Performed by five renowned Metro Vancouver musicians, this 75-minute experience invites you to feel music beyond language - where familiar tunes are reborn with cinematic depth and every note carries the beauty of connection.

Presented by Raga Echoes, a Vancouver-based performing arts company creating world-class live music experiences that unite Western and South Asian artistry.

Its nonprofit arm, the Raga Echoes Foundation, supports emerging musicians and builds cross-cultural collaborations that make music a shared language of creativity and community.
