Sitar & Tabla

Sitar player Jasdeep Singh Degun recently became the first Indian Classical musician to win the prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society Instrumental Award. The RPS judges said that ‘Rainbows of sound burst from his instrument in the dazzling collaborations of his debut album ... He excels on so many remarkable levels.’ Jasdeep’s lifelong training has been in gayaki ang, a lyrical approach to the sitar that mimics the human voice. Tonight he is joined by world-renowned tabla player Sanju Sahai for a programme of intimate duets and masterful improvisations rooted in many years of Indian tradition.
