After taking music aficionados in the US by storm in 2010, with Jai Ho Concert, A R Rahman will be performing at Berklee College of Music, Boston on October 24. The Academy Award winner will also be conferred with a honorary doctorate by the college on the same day. Interestingly, the music college is going to establish a scholarship in A R Rahman's name for future generations of musicians.

As part of the promotions for the concert, the organisers spoke to several students from various countries about what their favourite A R Rahman's song and the wide range of songs, which the students have revealed, is simply mind-boggling. From his work in Bombay Dreams, to Vinnaithaandi Varuvayaa, it was quite evident that the students at Berklee were well aware of the music composer's body of work. More details about the event will be revealed soon. Meanwhile, Rahman is ruling the music charts in Tamil with his work for Shankar's I and Vasantha Balan's Kaaviya Thalaivan.
