On the 10th of June 2023, on the stage of Northborough Town Center, ISW Symphony performed a mesmerizing performance amid rain and shine.   

Music has no boundaries, no language barrier. Music is also a bridge between cultural heritages and different backgrounds. It was evident when Symphony Group began playing Indian folk music with Dhol, Tasha, and Jhanz.  It brought the whole audience group on their feet dancing to the tunes. The highlight of the performance was the Greek dancers performing spontaneously on Dhola & Tasha beats in Greek fashion and then slowly transitioning into Indian folk dance steps in Greek uniform.   

Northborough Cultural Council did a great job organizing this event and the team worked extremely hard to keep the stage dry and also set up gazebo when rain obstructed the performances. Symphony DTL team added a couple of new players into Dhol and Tasha including one toddler. Music goes into our heart and soul and instantly fuels life in us. No wonder why everyone in the audience started to make moves on the music with added energy.    

Dhol-Tasha, a combination of percussion instruments, has been integral part of Maharashtra State. But, now spreading it globally to entertain worldwide and bringing different cultures together to spread the joy.
