Cheslav Bala Singh is a Canadian-born pianist and composer based in Poland. He studied piano under renowned musicians such as Dr. Sophia Moshevich, Regina Bodnaya, Raymond Spasovski, Jeannette Fujarczuk, Bogumił Nowicki, and Dr. Jerzy Stryjniak. As a soloist, he performed in prestigious venues in the USA, Canada, and Europe. He is also a studio artist and an educator. His compositional style ranges from small ensembles to symphony orchestras. In 2015, he co-founded Our 'PL'ace Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to disseminating art in all its forms effectively and extensively to audiences, as well as encouraging cultural exchanges. Based out of Poland, it has pursued a steady course of inviting artists to Poland and sending Polish artists abroad. Among its most recent achievements are the curation and production of an International Audiovisual Festival, Światłodźwięki, which had its fourth edition in 2019, and the composition and production of an interdisciplinary show dedicated to the victims of the first Nazi concentration camp on occupied Polish territory. Hailing from a Sikh background, Cheslav delved his interest in the Gurbāṇī Saṅgīta tradition studying with its primary exponent, Bhai Baldeep Singh.

As an extension of the World Music Heritage Series conceived and produced by maestro Bhai Baldeep Singh for Anād Records, the YaarAnād Virtual Baiṭhak Series aims to celebrate excellence in the fields of music, arts, dance, theatre, and literature.
The YaarAnād Virtual Baiṭhak Series marks the 400th birth anniversary of Gurū Teg Bahādur, the ninth gurū of the Sikhs and the unparalleled martyr in history, for he sacrificed his life to protect a faith he did not practice, the Hindū Dharmā. Giving his life to safeguard the Hindu Tilaka and Janēū, the ninth heir of Gurū Nānak embodied a fearless commitment to the freedom to choose and practice one’s own faith. He was a prolific pakhāwaj exponent, poet, and singer whose musical contributions include Rāga Jaijaiwantī.
