Maestro Llayaraja - Live Performance Sydney

Symphony Entertainers is proud to announce 'Maestro' Ilayaraaja's inaugural Sydney concert on the 22nd September at the Sydney Entertainment Centre. 

'Maestro' Ilayaraaja, a music composer, lyricist, singer and instrumentalist, is well renowned globally as one of the legends of the Indian music industry.   He has composed over 4500 songs and provided film scores for more than 950 Indian films in a career spanning more than 30 years, across a number of Indian languages, predominately Tamil, but also Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi.  

'The Maestro' as he is usually referred to, is one of the earliest Indian film composers to fuse Western, Indian folk and Carnatic elements to create a sublime experience for any listener.   He has composed Indian film songs that have amalgamated elements of genres such as Afro-tribal, disco, classical, jazz, pop, folk and rock’n’roll. 

His extensive knowledge of various music genres and styles alongside his methodological approach to composition and recording has allowed him to craft a rich tapestry of music and background scores that continue to be appreciated and enjoyed by all generations. 

As the winner of four Indian National Film Awards, three for Best Music Direction and one for Best Background Score and a recipient of the prestigious Padma Bhushan Award from the Government of India, 'Maestro' Ilayaraaja continues to enjoy popular and critical success and has attracted a loyal, diehard and ever expanding fan base around the world.

Australian boffins brew up a hydrating beer

Thanks to Australian scientists, you can now hydrate by drinking beer.

Quenching a hard earned thirst with a big cold beer just got better for you – thanks to the work of some clever Queensland scientists.

Researchers from Griffith University's health institute have discovered that it is possible to substantially improve the hydrating effects of the amber ale.

By adding electrolytes, an ingredient commonly found in sports drinks, and reducing the alcohol content researchers found that beer could become even more refreshing. And the best news for beer drinkers is that the taste of the modified brews didn't change.

As part of the study, the researchers modified two commercial beers, one regular strength and one light beer. They then gave them to volunteers who had worked up a sweat after exercise to test fluid recovery.

Associate Professor Ben Desbrow said the light beer which had been combined with electrolytes provided the best level of hydration.

"Of the four different beers the subjects consumed, our augmented light beer was by far the most well retained by the body, meaning it was the most effective at re-hydrating the subjects," he said.

Professor Desbrow said it was more effective to tell people how to minimise dehydration than telling them not to drink.

"If you're going to live in the real world, you can either spend your time telling people what they shouldn't do, or you can work on ways of reducing the danger of some of these socialised activities," he said.

The new super beer paves the way for products to be developed that could reduce the likelihood of the dreaded hangover; so it's a triumphant day for beer drinkers everywhere.

The Boss Bruce Springsteen Set to Return to Australia in Early 2014

BRUCE Springsteen may be returning to Australia as early as next year.

Radio station Triple M last night posted a news item on their website which appears to to suggest The Boss will tour in February and March 2014.

The item was swiftly taken down, however an eager Bruce Springsteen fansite posted screengrabs of the item online, sparking rumours and sending Boss enthusiasts into a frenzy

Though yet to be confirmed by Springsteen's management or Australian promoters Frontier, the item suggested the 2014 visit will be a full national tour.

A possible 2014 tour would come after just an East Coast visit this year which angered fans in Perth and Adelaide.

The leak has The Boss playing dates in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, the Hunter Valley and Brisbane.

The rumoured Melbourne venue is AAMI Park, which has only been used as a concert by the Foo Fighters in the past.

It also claimed iconic band Hunters and Collectors would reform to support The Boss at the Melbourne concert.

Springsteen's Australian tour this March sold over 150,000 tickets and grossed over $25 million.
