Jasdeep Singh Degun, the first British Asian musician, and the first sitar player, to receive the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Award for Best Instrumentalist returns for another stunning performance at GemArts Riverside Ragas at The Glasshouse.   

Composer, arranger and improviser; consummate soloist and generous collaborator; custodian of tradition and restless innovator, multi-award winning sitarist Jasdeep Singh Degun is an anomaly indeed. Unconstrained by genre, the Leeds-born virtuoso’s extraordinary skill and creativity are reshaping the musical landscape for his peers, and for generations to come.

Amid artist residencies and fellowships, an international concert schedule, royal command performances and the well-deserved laurels of recent years, Jasdeep’s lifelong training in gayaki ang – a lyrical approach to the sitar that mimics the human voice – has remained his anchor and his passion.

Presented by GemArts and The Glasshouse
