Innovative Format
Rightly called The Baap Of All Music Shows, each episode of Times of Music will bring together two composers belonging to different eras. They will then reinvent each other’s popular songs while infusing them with their own signature touch. Hosted by composer Vishal Dadlani, this innovative musical show celebrates the brilliance of the old and the new.
Along with enjoying spellbinding music, you also get to understand the ethos and philosophy behind each song. You see how different composers interpret songs differently and in the process, add their own magic to it. You witness the sheer amount of effort and emotions that go behind creating timeless songs.
From musical trivia to untold stories, this show has everything and you hear it straight from the geniuses.
Times Of Music premiered on Jun 20 and will have episodes coming out every Saturday and Sunday.
Enviable Line-Up
The press conference announcing the show was also a never-before-seen virtual one where all 20 composers were present digitally.
Each one of them shared their experience of working on the show, how much they enjoyed making it and what they are taking away from it. This press conference was unique as the show itself.
