Virtuoso sitar-player and critically acclaimed composer.
Jasdeep will be joined for a concert of Indian classical music with Shahbaz Hussain on tabla.
Following the successful release of his debut album Anomaly with Real World Records in 2022, Jasdeep Singh Degun has completed a number of highly praised UK tours, performing at esteemed venues such as Kings Place, Westminster Abbey, WOMAD Festival, Nottingham’s Royal Hall, and the Southbank Centre, as well as a standout headline performance at the prestigious Darbar Festival at the Barbican, which was broadcast on Sky Arts.
Not only a virtuoso, Degun made waves in the classical music world as composer of the critically-acclaimed Orpheus with Opera North, a ground-breaking work, which he also conducted during his time as Opera North’s Artist-in-Residence, and which garnered multiple awards.
In recognition of his outstanding contributions, Degun was awarded the Songlines Best Newcomer Award, an Asian Achievers Award, and made history as the first sitar player and British-Asian musician to win the Royal Philharmonic Society ‘Instrumentalist’ award in 2024.
