Earth Concerto

Earth Concerto is a unique project of Milind, where he has incorporated musicians from Morocco – Israel, Iran, Iraq, India and Korea. Here they have collaborated and created New Music. The album symbolizes a new era for humanity: a musical journey, where the musicians set forth on a voyage in quest of world peace. A journey of experimentation, which takes one from the spiritual aura of India, to the undying fascination of the Far East and thence to the culturally rich lands of the Middle East. Presenting compositions that blend different music styles to create soulful, soothing and melodious music, Earth Concerto is a tribute to humankind’s eternal search for unity in diversity.











The album Earth Concerto has won the prestigious “Critics Choice Award” in South Korea. The speciality of this album also is that there is no western instrument used. Milind has cleverly used various Eastern Instruments to create the complete sound spectrum.
