CONSIDERED THE HUB OF WESTERN CLASSICAL MUSIC IN THE CITY, THE NCPA FOUNDED THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA OF INDIA IN 2006. UNDER THE DIRECTORSHIP OF KAZAKH VIOLINIST MARAT BISENGALIEV, THE SOI STAGES TWO SETS OF "CELEBRITY" CONCERTS u2013 FEATURING SUCH BIG-TICKET NAMES AS KARL JENKINS AND TAMAS VASARY u2013 EVERY FEBRUARY AND SEPTEMBER. THE NCPA IS PERHAPS EVEN BETTER KNOWN FOR ITS INDIAN CLASSICAL MUSIC RECITALS, AND IN ADDITION TO WEEKLY CONCERTS IT ALSO HOSTS A NUMBER OF ANNUAL FESTIVALS, INCLUDING AADI ANANT EVERY JANUARY AND BANDISH EVERY JULY. THEIR MOST RECENT SUCCESS, HOWEVER, IS THE SUFI MUSIC FESTIVAL, SAMA'A, HELD IN NOVEMBER.
