'Classic Incantations': Message from Babelsberg

A message from the conductor of the German Film Orchestra Babelsberg regarding the project with A.R. Rahman.  When we started rehearsing for this project in September, the team from Babelsberg came to visit KMMC and hear the choir.  We had the privilege of meeting Mr. Klaus Peter Beyer and he spoke to the choir members about the project and about the history and ties between Germany and India.  He was very impressed with what he heard!  This video was shown at the press conference last week.
