The compositions that will be rendered will extend a wide range of ragas in scales and rhythm patterns that will leave audiences mesmerised. One of the songs include Nothing is Forever, a stirring arrangement dedicated to the memory of one of Swara’s students, Yuvanes. Although composed before his tragic passing, the depth of this moving piece will likely shed a tear or two. The captivating ragas and rhythmically intensive musical elaborations composed by Sam and rendered by SwarAsia is hoped to be the beginning of more collaborations and performances.

SwarAsia which will also undertake a roadshow to Penang, Malacca and Johor in the months of October–December 2015. They have also been invited to perform in four cities namely Rotorua, Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch in New Zealand in the month of November 2015.
