Considered one of the finest sitar players on the Indian music scene, UK based Roopa Panesar is emerging as one of the most exciting young sitar players in the world. Her outstanding musical ability, along with her soulful and unique style of playing, has left listeners captivated, and has been receiving accolades from audiences and peers alike.

For this tour, Roopa will once again be collaborating with percussionist Pirashanna Thevaraja and tabla player Nitin Mitta.
