Jasdeep Singh Degun & Sukhvinder Singh Pinky

Custodian of tradition and restless innovator, Leeds-born virtuoso Jasdeep Singh Degun’s extraordinary creativity is reshaping the musical landscape for his peers, and for generations to come. In the last few years he’s released two albums, composed a sitar concerto, reimagined an opera, played in Westminster Abbey and fulfilled his childhood dream of playing at Darbar, gathering an impressive range of awards and numerous new fans along the way.

He returns to his roots in Indian classical music for this performance, collaborating with the charismatic tabla maestro Sukhvinder Singh Pinky. “In our tradition, you’re always a student”, says Degun - a value that endures even at the very highest level of the art form. Here, Degun shares the stage with one of its great masters, guiding audiences through the infinite riches of raag and rhythm.
