Summary
Sitarist Jasdeep Singh Degun and tabla player Harkiret Singh Bahra join the CBSO strings at the CBSO Centre for a programme of Degun’s original chamber works and concerto movements.
Why it's fantastic
This intimate session bridges the gap between Indian classical traditions and Western strings, featuring a leading sitarist who recently reimagined Monteverdi for the opera stage. Hearing his delicate sitar melodies intertwine with a live string quartet offers a refreshing, cross-cultural perspective on how different musical worlds can breathe together.
