A TICKET TO INDIA is a musical tour commencing with a Vedic chant and ending with the magical light display of Mysore Palace at night. In between is the mystery, charm and noise of India, a voyage of palaces, city streets, trains and holy places, including an elephant parade.

A TICKET TO INDIA does not belong to Bollywood but is the musical response of an Australian composer visiting parts of India from Delhi to Kerala in the south. India’s cultural, spiritual, and natural wonders feature as set pieces reflecting the country it is.

Sketched over thirty years ago for a home film score on India, the work was arranged by Peter Gillard as a piano suite and is now orchestrated as an epic symphonic opus. Settle your ears for an orchestral onslaught on India.
