Britain's What's On Event Guide
Roopa Panesar Trio
After playing to packed houses at London’s leading concert halls; Barbican and Southbank Centre, the celebrated UK-based sitar player Roopa Panesar plays a very special show in Maidenhead.
Born in London and being raised in Leicester afforded Roopa Panesar the opportunity to learn sitar from an early age. At the age of seven, Roopa’s lifelong journey with renowned educationalist and leading UK musician Ustad Dharambir Singh ji MBE started, and she was quickly recognized as a talent for the future. She remains with her musical guru to this day.
For this concert, Roopa will be accompanied by Sukhdeep Dhanjal on tabla, and RN Prakash on Carnatic percussion.
Sukhdeep Dhanjal is a leading tabla player, and teacher, with in-depth knowledge and experience with both the classical and fusion genres. He has performed at leading venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Southbank Centre and 10 Downing Street, by invitation of the then Prime Minister Rishi Sunak
RN Prakash is a popular mridangam and ghatam artist performing globally, with many Carnatic concerts relying on his flawless ghatam accompaniment. Although his expertise is in Indian classical music, he is versatile, adventurous and open minded.
'One of the most important musicians to have emerged in the British Asian diaspora over the past few years. She expresses a profound sense of calmness laced with an inexplicable exhilaration.' Songlines
'British-Indian sitar player Roopa Panesar and her band were outstanding' The Independent review of WOMAD Festival
'AR Rahman‘s suite from his Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack is effectively a concerto for sitar and orchestra, the former played with staggering dexterity by Roopa Panesar.' Guardian
This performance is presented in partnership with Asian Arts Agency, the UK’s leading promoter of South Asian music.
