COVID-19 NOTE: I am happy to sign contracts for upcoming events, but my contracts state that I will only be performing as and when the government of Canada and Ontario deem that it is safe to do so, and I will comply with whatever restrictions are in place at the time of the event. If it turns out that I am unable to perform because of government restrictions, I will issue a full refund to the client. ----------------------
"Thanks you so much for the beautiful music, your generosity. The calm and cool way you handled some of the issues, especially during a time of stress when we wanted everything to go perfect was nothing short of professional. Your music was perfect for the event, a flawless performance." — Shams Hirji
"Chris played at our wedding and it was definitely one of the highlight moments. We had many musicians and musical enthusiasts who traveled from India and Europe for the wedding and all were enthralled and continue to speak about the performance. I would highly recommend him to anyone." —Dr. Raj Das Gupta ---------------------- INSTRUMENTAL I offer a selection of classical ragas performed on sitar, as well as instrumental versions of ghazals and Bollywood songs. I perform with a tabla (hand drums) player, unless solo sitar is specifically requested.
Performances are tailored to meet the needs of various kinds of wedding ceremonies and receptions, from a Nikah or Walima, to ceremonies where the sitar complements the Sanskrit chanting in a wedding ceremony.
BOLLYWOOD SONGS I also sing Bollywood songs, which are well suited to a cocktail hour, a dinner, or a mehndi party. I have included a list of some of the songs I sing. You can see video examples if you search for my name (Chris Hale) and the name of the song in YouTube.
