bringing respect and global recognition to Indian film music. Zed, who is
chairperson of Indo American Leadership Confederation, urged Government of
India to launch some world-class conservatories in collaboration with major
business conglomerates to channelise the abundant musical talent of India.
Besides this Muscat concert, Rahman will also reportedly perform at Aspire

pyrotechnics and lighting.
Rahman, who has reportedly recorded sales of over 300 million, was called
‘Mozart of Madras’' by Time magazine. Rahman sees music ‘as a way to connect
to spirituality and embrace it’ and for ‘creating harmony in troubled
times’.
