AR
Rahman’s concert in Australia
has just got bigger! The Oscar winning
music director’s concert is
due to take place on Saturday night
(January 16, 2010) at the Parramatta
Park in Sydney. And guess who will
be hosting the event? It is none other
than cricketer Mathew Hayden. Hayden,
who plays for the Chennai Super Kings
team, has a penchant for Rahman’s
music and agreed to host the show
when the offer came to him.
In a press release, Hayden has said,
“I am honoured and thrilled
to be a part of AR Rahman’s
unique outdoor extravaganza and the
Sydney Festival. Rahman was born in
Chennai, a city that I have come to
love and a part of India that is very
special to me for many reasons. I
am excited that many Australians will
be able to enjoy what millions of
people around the world have come
to love and appreciate, the incredible
Mozart of Madras and the amazing Indian
musicians and Bollywood dancers.” |
