Amrita Kaur, a Malaysian-Kiwi-Punjabi vocalist, is set to dazzle audiences in Malaysia with her captivating voice at an upcoming musical event.
Having graced stages worldwide, Amrita, alongside talented live musicians, wil be holding an evening of music on May 19, 2024 (Sunday), from 6.30pm onwards, at Stage 1 Theatre at PJPac, 1 Utama E in Petaling Jaya.
Amrita will perform a diverse selection of songs, including Sufi, Punjabi folk, pop, Hindi film music, ghazal, and semi-classical numbers.
Despite residing in New Zealand for over 20 years, Amrita’s roots in Kuala Lumpur make this her debut performance in Malaysia, promising a truly special experience.
From the tender age of 7, Amrita began accompanying her father, the renowned kirtaniya Bhai Yadvinder Singh, in Sikh kirtan programs at local Gurudwaras in Auckland. She is trained in the rich tradition of Indian classical music from the age of 11, under the guidance of Professor Shukdev Madhur in Auckland.
In a groundbreaking moment, Amrita made history in January 2023 as the first Sikh to perform a solo concert in the “Virsa Heritage Revived” series at Haveli Baroodkhana in Lahore, Pakistan. Co-produced by Mian Yousaf Salahuddin and Yadvinder Singh, the concert was later released on YouTube, amassing over 700k views to date. After the immense success of this concert, Amrita was invited to perform once again in January 2024, with the final concert to be released on Youtube soon.
