Reintroducing: Classical Music Without Borders

Classical music aficionados in Karachi are in for a treat…

We are pleased to introduce a unique international concert series for Karachi: Classical Music Without Borders. Musicians from around the world will perform national and international classical hits, from Baroque to traditional Japanese music, from Rossini to Gershwin. Karachi listeners will have a unique opportunity to enjoy top string, woodwind and brass players as well as international level opera singers and pianists at the the Alliance Française de Karachi and other venues.

The series first kicked off in 2018 with a traditional Japanese concert by koto player Sumie Kaneko at the Alliance Française de Karachi on 8 October 2018, followed by classical music from France, Germany, Italy, and Russia.

The series is now in its second year with the Trio Zipang from Japan kicking off this season at the Alliance Française de Karachi on 20 November 2019, to be followed by musicians from France, Germany, Italy, and Russia.

This initiative is spearheaded by the Consulate of France in Karachi in partnership with the consulates of Germany, Italy, Japan, and Russia, as well as the Alliance Française de Karachi and the Goethe Institut. We thank our sponsors Oman Air, Gerry’s, and PC Hotels.
