More than just a scale, a raga in North Indian Classical music is a distinct melodic world, which creates a particular mood or atmosphere and that complements a specific time of day or season. Immerse yourself in a selection of evening ragas presented by cellist and sitarist, Pete Yelding, accompanied by the internationally acclaimed tabla player, Ustad Shahbaz Hussain. 

Pete Yelding is a cellist, sitarist and vocalist, and the 7th generation of a family of travelling performers. He may well be the only musician currently performing who is able to present a programme of ragas on both sitar and cello. He is also the only musician currently in the UK who follows the instrumental style of his teacher, the sarod maestro, Ustad Irfan Muhammad Khan, of the musical lineage known as the Lucknow-Shahjahanpur Gharana. Despite its historic importance, this musical lineage, its repertoire, and inherent performance style currently occupies a marginal position in the contemporary global Hindustani music scene. This concert will be an opportunity to hear some of the Lucknow Shahjahanpur Gharana's rarely heard repertoire, which traces back to the Mughal courts of the 19th century.

Tickets: £5-10
