Secret Rules of a Symphony That Every Music Lover Must Know Ft. Ganesh B. Kumar

In this special episode of Tamil Nostalgia, Priya Parthasarathy speaks with Chennai-based composer Ganesh B Kumar about the world of Western classical symphony, orchestral storytelling, and his landmark works. At a time when Tamil music lovers are talking about symphonies more than ever, this conversation breaks down a simple but fascinating question: how do you listen to a symphony when there are no lyrics, no singer, and no familiar film-song structure? Ganesh B Kumar, composer of RISE: Symphony No. 1 in D minor and the symphonic poem The Journey – From Despair to Hope, explains the craft behind orchestral music, the discipline of writing for 90+ musicians, the influence of Beethoven and Ilaiyaraaja, and the emotional power of instruments telling stories without words. We also explore the moving story behind The Journey – From Despair to Hope, a symphonic poem inspired by the World War II escape of Polish children and the extraordinary compassion of Maharaj Jam Saheb Digvijay Singhji of Nawanagar, who gave them refuge in India. If you have ever wondered what a symphony is, how to listen to one, or why it is such a major artistic achievement, this interview is for you.
