About the show
A.R. Rahman is bringing “The Symphonic Experience” to Newark for two nights, joining the New Jersey Symphony at NJPAC on Nov. 3 and 4.
The collaboration pairs Rahman with the New Jersey Symphony for a program built around music from throughout his career, reworked for a full orchestral setting. The format gives familiar compositions new scale while bringing greater attention to the melodies, rhythms and musical details that have shaped his work for more than three decades.
Rahman’s catalog stretches from films including “Roja,” “Bombay” and “Dil Se” to “Lagaan,” “Jodhaa Akbar,” “Ponniyin Selvan” and “Slumdog Millionaire.” His career has earned him two Academy Awards, two Grammys, a Golden Globe and a BAFTA.
A.R. Rahman: The Symphonic Experience with the New Jersey Symphony comes to Prudential Hall at NJPAC in Newark on Nov. 3 and 4, 2026, at 7:30 p.m.
