Of sarees & soirees: Choral music conductor sweeps Bach to the past

IndiaTimes Saturday, 23 December 2023
India's first woman music conductor, Coomi Wadia, receives Padma Shri for her contribution to western classical music. Wadia was part of Paranjoti Academy Chorus (PAC) and led them to win the first prize in the IX International Choral Song Festival in Poland. She introduced Indians to modern 20th-century works and invited composers like Vanraj Bhatia to write new choral music. Wadia faced gender and racial discrimination in India throughout her career. She continues to lead a simple life and enjoys going to concerts.
