Our Autumn series of double-bill concerts presents the best of British talent performing South Asian Classical music. Our first concert showcases the sounds of two beautiful stringed instruments often referred to as cousins from the North and South – the Sitar and Veena.

Pavithra Logitharajah and Mayooran Kandhasamy present a Carnatic veena duet exploring a variety of sounds, range and ragas on this beautiful and delicate instrument. Two extremely talented artists, with impeccable technique and command over their gamakas bring out the best of their instruments, and their own high energy.

A creative and gifted London-based musician, Raaheel Husain performs an evening of Hindustani classical music on the well-known and distinctively sounding Sitar. As he travels through a range of improvisation, composition and technique, Raaheel creates his own unique style focusing on raag aesthetics and showcasing flawless skill.
