Nitin Sawhney: A Throw Of Dice Silent movie with live music

Sat 27 Oct 7:30pm at Symphony Hall

Songwriter, DJ and composer Nitin Sawhney has broken down the barriers between pop and classical and now, in a stunning soundtrack to the 1929 Indian cinema classic, A Throw of Dice (Prapancha Pash), explores his South Asian roots.
The film and Nitin’s score caused a sensation when first performed last year. The story of two rival kings addicted to gambling and the same woman, the film used over 10,000 extras, 1000 horses and 50 elephants provided by the royal houses of Jaipur, Udaipur and Mysore.
