Sri Chinmoy, the composer of the vast array of songs that are the source of Songs of the Soul, sought throughout his lifetime to combine the very best elements of the East, where he grew up, with the West, where he made his home for over forty years. Similarly, the artists performing in Songs of the Soul have taken Sri Chinmoy's creations and from them imagined a musical journey through a vast landscape of musical expression – classical and modern, Eastern and Western, tranquil and fast-paced, contemplative and joyful.

The Songs of the Soul concerts offer a variety of international music encompassing many different genres. Each concert is unique in that the groups that perform vary depending on when and where the concerts are taking place around the world. For these talented musicians, to perform in these concerts is an offering from their souls, so the audiences may share in their inspiration and joy, and receive an uplifting and meditative experience.
