Leeds-born composer, arranger and improviser; consummate soloist and generous collaborator; custodian of tradition and restless innovator, multi-award winning sitarist Jasdeep Singh Degun takes to the Howard Assembly Room stage once more, this time for classical story telling.

Winner of the Royal Philharmonic Society's 2024 Instrumentalist of the Year Award, Jasdeep Singh Degun was born in Leeds, but his music evokes whole worlds, and his sitar playing…well, let’s just say that it has to be heard to be believed. Tonight at The Tung Auditorium he joins the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and tabla virtuoso Harkiret Bahra to perform his own Sitar Concerto Arya – a lyrical, brilliantly imaginative tale of different musical cultures, united by a willingness to explore, and (above all) by the spirit of song. A night of wonder with an artist born to inspire.
