🌟 Experience the magic of Indian classical music 🌟
Roopa Panesar, born in London and trained by some of India’s greatest masters, is among the most remarkable sitar players to emerge from the UK’s South Asian music scene.  From timeless ragas to contemporary collaborations, her music radiates serenity while sparking an exhilarating energy.

After playing to packed houses at London’s leading concert halls Barbican and Southbank Centre, the celebrated UK-based sitar virtuoso Roopa Panesar plays a very special show in New York. Since playing Lincoln Center a few years later she’s held a love for the city’s audience.

‘Panesar’s fingering is exact, mathematical, rising into a dreamy crescendo as her effort to manipulate her instrument grows’  (★★★★★ BuzzMag.co.uk)

Born in London and being raised in Leicester, afforded Roopa Panesar the opportunity to learn sitar from an early age. At the age of seven, Roopa’s lifelong journey with renowned educationalist and leading UK musician Ustad Dharambir Singh ji MBE started, and she was quickly recognized as a talent for the future. She remains with her musical guru to this day.

‘One of the most important musicians to have emerged in the British Asian diaspora over the past few years. She expresses a profound sense of calmness laced with an inexplicable exhilaration.’ (★★★★ Songlines)

Known for her deeply expressive style and genre-crossing collaborations, Roopa Panesar brings the timeless beauty of the sitar to life in a performance that blends tradition with innovation. 

‘Staggering dexterity.’ (The Guardian)

She has collaborated with artists such as Mercury Prize winner Talvin Singh and the Belgian Symphony Orchestra, and her musical journey has taken her to stages around the world – as well as projects ranging from BBC broadcasts to film soundtracks and royal commemorations.

Roopa is accompanied for this concert by New York-based tabla virtuoso Nitin Mitta.
