Grammy-nominated artist will be joined by special guests Nathalie Bonin and Peter Sterling
The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present “Radhika Vekaria: The Sound of Light Experience” — with special guests Nathalie Bonin and Peter Sterling — on Saturday, May 10 at 7 p.m. at the Mary Fisher Theatre.
Step into an evening where sound meets illumination — where the ancient and the modern converge in a breathtaking symphony of voice, vibration, and transcendence.
Led by acclaimed artist Radhika Vekaria, it is more than a concert — it is an invocation, a journey through the power of music as a force of awakening. Drawing from her 2025 Grammy-nominated album, “Warriors of Light”, Radhika weaves together evocative Sanskrit mantras, Dravidian and English languages with the contemporary, and immersive sonic landscapes to guide audiences through a transformative experience of sound and spirit.
Through soul-stirring melodies, cinematic textures, and the raw power of human voice, The Sound of Light Experience is an alchemy of music, depth, and light — a call to remembrance, to presence, and to the boundless energy that lives within us all.
This special concert will feature special guests: French-Canadian Grammy-winning violinist and composer Nathalie Bonin and harpist Peter Sterling.
