A Hundred Strings in Oxford: Two Strings, One Pulse

A Hundred Strings in Oxford: Two Strings, One Pulse
Wed 18 Nov, 19:00 - 21:30
Holywell Music Room, Oxford
Sitar, santoor and tabla at the Holywell Music Room. Adnan Khan, a Grammy-nominated sitarist, plays in the gayaki ang, which shapes the sitar after the singing voice. Vinay Desai plays the santoor, the hundred-stringed instrument of Kashmir, as a direct disciple of Padma Vibhushan Pandit Shivkumar Sharma. Ustad Akram Khan, the seventh generation of his family in the Ajrada gharana, plays tabla for both halves. Adnan plucks his strings and slides between notes; Vinay strikes his and moves in runs, so the two take different routes through the same raga.
