The Commonwealth Resounds! is deeply saddened to hear about the death of Ravi Shankar, our much-loved and greatly valued patron. Our thoughts are with his family at this time, and his musical inspiration and achievements will be long remembered.
“I feel absolutely delighted and very surprised to have been awarded an OBE in the Queen’s 2012 Birthday Honours for my community work in the UK and overseas.
In my opinion, this could not have happened without the hard inspirational work from thousands of musicians of all ages and from all walks of life with whom I have been lucky enough to work over the years. I should like to sincerely thank everybody involved”
