This intimate tribute concert will feature memorable performances by renowned artistes as we bring alive memories and anecdotes that involve the maestro," added Wiz.

As a singer, writer, composer, music director, activist and philanthropist, Singh was a multi-faceted artist and an active member of GIMA, who also mentored most of its music initiatives.

This tribute concert is an effort to celebrate his iconic legacy and unmatched contribution to music through performances dedicated to him by friends and colleagues.

Speaking on the occasion, Chitra Singh said: "I am filled with a deep sense of pride and joy that the music fraternity is coming together to remember and honour my husband on his 71st birth anniversary. The tribute concert has my blessings and support. My family and I look forward to a nostalgic night embracing his memory."
