We are delighted to announce the digital premiere of an enchanting sarangi concert performed by Surjeet Singh and Sanju Sahai (tabla), with accompaniment from the taus and tanpura.

Surjeet Singh is dedicated  to sharing the art of sarangi and Indian classical music.

Sanju Sahai is one of the finest and most sought-after contemporary tabla players.
