Shakir Khan – Sitar
Hiren Chate – Tabla
Sitar and tabla come together in a performance that infuses the depth and intricacy of Indian classical tradition with youthful energy and musical innovation.
Acclaimed as one of the most sensitive and dynamic classical sitar players of his generation, Shakir Khan represents the legacy of his prodigious father and Guru – Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan.
Following in his father’s musical footsteps, he also stands out for his flawless instrumental technique, astonishing skills and sophisticated sense of rhythm and melodic presentation.
In this concert, he is accompanied by one of the finest and most versatile tabla players in the UK, Hiren Chate, to create an electrifying and inspiring experience.
