UK Tour with Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan

We presented acclaimed sitar maestro Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan on a UK tour in June 2022.

Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan was accompanied by Pandit Sanju Sahai on tabla.

The tour began in Birmingham (Midlands Arts Centre), proceeding on to London (Kings Place), Southampton (Turner Sims) and Bristol (St George’s Bristol).

Despite visa issues almost cancelling the tour, we are pleased the tour went ahead and was a success.

Selected Audience Comments

 “Sharing a magical evening with this wonderful sitar player, whose work I have only been able to listen to on CD – for many years – up until now. Thank you for bringing him to St. George’s, and please persuade him to come again.”

“Transported to another world. Magnificent. Thank you.”

“Ustad Shahid Parvez Khan’s sitar recital, with Sanju Sahai’s virtuoso accompaniment on tabla, was a very special event, and this was a rare opportunity to hear an artist of such calibre perform in the UK. It was a privilege to be there.”

“A truly sublime concert.”

“It was a fantastic experience and an honour to hear such incredible musicians play.”
