Scottish Ensemble Presents: Jasdeep Singh Degun

Weaving a profoundly creative tale of captivating melody and exhilarating spontaneity, Leeds-born sitarist Jasdeep Singh Degun, one of Britain’s leading figures in the Indian Classical Tradition, collaborates with the Scottish Ensemble to deliver a ‘sparklingly cinematic’ programme at the RNCM on Sun 8 Oct.

Featuring a Manchester premiere of a new work by Jasdeep, arrangements from the Western classical string repertoire and spellbinding compositions from his album, Anomaly, the performance complements the ancient tradition of raags with a sprawling compendium of contemporary classical techniques, transporting the audience on an odyssey through layers of inventive sound.

Jasdeep’s concert marks the commencement of a two-year stint as an RNCM Artist-in-Residence, during which he will work intensively with both staff and students to explore the synthesis of different music traditions in an arena of boundless instrumental possibilities.
