The Symphony Orchestra of India presents its Autumn 2022 Season with four symphonic concerts, four recitals and three performances of fully-staged opera. The season will feature a wide range of repertoire, from the symphonies of Beethoven to ballet music by Prokofiev, music from Broadway by Leonard Bernstein, and much more!

Several internationally-acclaimed artists will be featured, most making their India debut, including conductors Alpesh Chauhan and Richard Farnes, pianists Benjamin Grosvenor, Pavel Kolesnikov and Jean-Frédéric Neuberger, cellist Henri Demarquette, violinist Sayaka Shoji and rising star of the French horn Ben Goldscheider. A highlight of the Autumn season is three fully-staged performances of Johann Strauss II’s beloved operetta Die Fledermaus, presented in collaboration with the Hungarian State Opera.
