Surinder Sandhu has established himself as one of the most inventive, exciting and talented composer/soloists both in the West and East. So much so, that for his debut album ‘SauRang Orchestra’, he had an outstanding array of ‘A’ list maestro’s cueing up to work with him!

On that first record, which was recorded over a 12 month period in three continents, Surinder enrolled among others; The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Guitar Legend Steve Vai, British Saxophone hero Andy Sheppard and many eminent Indian soloists.

‘SauRang Orchestra’ won critical acclaim the world over, catapulting Surinder Sandhu into major league music circles, where he was publicised even through mainstream media, along with credible pop acts!!

In 2004 (after recruiting a team of undiscovered talent) less than a year after releasing ‘SauRang’, Surinder returned with ‘Cycles and Stories’. This incredibly fresh sounding record featured his current line up focusing on capturing the energy from the live shows.

Aside from touring internationally, Surinder is in constantly demand as a recording artist, composer and lecturer in contemporary music.

2007 see’s the release of his third outing ‘The Fictionist’, described as an epic symphonic collage, which will feature Symphony Orchestra, Madras Voice Choir and very special guest soloists, Surinder will be collaborating with George Lucas’ incredible Skywalker team on the post production, to ensure that ‘widescreen’ sound.

What the Press are saying about Surinder;

SONGLINES July/August 2003 “An unusually successful East/West project....Hats off to Surinder Sandhu for One of the best examples of East-West music I've heard in years. - Peter Culshaw

'Total Guitar Magazine, Stunning' - Scott Rowley,

Guitar Buyer Magazine 'Majestic' - Tim Slater,

Guitar Techniques Magazine,'Brilliant...Exquisite...Highly Recommended..‘

All About Jazz.com, 'Groundbreaking...Stunning collage of Indian influenced jazz and symphonic power...This album puts Sandhu in the forefront of one of the most exciting jazz experiments now underway'. Walter Kolosky

Jazzwise Magazine 'Electrifying!...if a composer's grasp isn't beyond his reach what's heaven for?' Andy Robson

EASTERN EYE MAGAZINE Feb 2004. ‘Albums like this one have changed the perception of classical music and broadened audiences...a classical collection of songs dripping with cool moments of contemporary inventiveness

Hi Surinder...thanks for finding me....it seems we have quite a few friends in common. Just about to have a siesta so will listen to more of your stuff later. It seems you are exploring musical avenues where there are no boundaries which I believe is where creative music is going globally.
All good wishes and enjoy your day.
