Legendary Indian classical maestros

This event has passed.

A once-in-a-lifetime musical experience brings together two of India’s most celebrated maestros for an evening of classical virtuosity.

Ustad Shahid Parvez, the legendary sitar virtuoso, joins internationally acclaimed bamboo‑flute maestro Shashank Subramanyam for a unique jugalbandi. This extraordinary collaboration will fuse the rich melodic depth of Hindustani classical music with the vibrant intricacy of Carnatic traditions. Accompanied by two master percussionists, the concert will weave the deep melodic richness of North-Indian classical music with the intricate rhythmic patterns of South‑Indian tradition, offering a spellbinding showcase of rhythm, melody and spontaneous creativity.

Audiences are invited to immerse themselves in an unforgettable evening of harmony, innovation, and artistry, celebrating the enduring beauty of Indian classical music in an intimate and inspiring setting, renowned for its exceptional acoustics where every note can be fully appreciated.

In partnership with South Asian Arts-UK (SAA-UK).
