A double bill of India’s iconic sitar alongside an explosive solo tabla performance.

A decade after selling out her concert at the festival, one of the finest sitar maestras returns. Roopa Panesar performs captivating and soul-stirring ragas from the Hindustani tradition of north India, accompanied on the tabla by Shahbaz Hussain, one of the UK’s master Indian musicians. Savour the development of the raag through its four stages: the exploration of the alaap, the pulse of the jor, the building strength of the jhalla, and finally the crescendo of the gat.

Maverick tabla and jori master, Sukhvinder Singh is one of the world's great percussion maestros. Learning from the grand masters of the Punjab and Benares styles of percussion including the late Pandit Kishen Maharaj, he has created a unique sound of rhythmic improvisation. Let him take you on a journey through structured groove and mind-bending crescendo.
