Songs of the Soul European Tour begins
The Songs of the Soul tour began on Sunday with a warmly received concert in the Czech city of Zlín.

The full house audience was extremely moved by the concert, which featured performances by a range of artists (Adesh and Sadanand, Mandu and Visuddhi, Arthada's group, Agnikana's group, Pavaka Richot, and Matthijs Jongpier) culminating in the final performance by Gandharva Loka Orchestra (pictured above)

The Songs of the Soul concert series began in 2008 as a way of bringing the depth and beauty of Sri Chinmoy's music to audiences worldwide in a variety of styles. Since then the concerts have taken place all around the world, in places ranging from Bali to St Petersburg.
Sunday was the beginning of a 9-day tour. On Monday, they played in Bratislava and tonight (Tuesday) and tomorrow they will play in the Hungarian cities of Budapest and Gyor. Also scheduled are concerts in the Austrian cities of Vienna, Salzburg and Graz, and in the Slovenian cities of Ljubljana and Maribor.
