Fridays at One: Jasdeep Singh Degun

Jasdeep Singh Degun, the first sitar player to win a Royal Philharmonic Society Award, joins us as part of our Fridays at One concert series.This rendition of Indian classical music features the sitar, a stringed instrument which is perfectly equipped to portray the full range of emotions and dynamics which encapsulates the essence of raag music.While raags are traditionally associated with moods such as joy, serenity and pathos, and linked with particular seasons and times of the day, there is significant scope here for the artist to express their own emotions and aesthetics through the music.

This is the beauty of Indian classical music.
