Classical Music Of India IV – Sitar and Tabla Concert @ Theatre An Der Grenze

After the past successful concert tours titled “Classical Music Of India” presenting various combinations, artists and instruments from India, this year CulturAll has decided to present one of the most popular instruments of North Indian classical music, the Sitar.

The sitar is a plucked stringed instrument, originating from the Indian subcontinent, used in Hindustani classical music. It has derived originally from many ancient stringed instruments known as Veena. The instrument flourished under the Mughals, and it is said to be named after a Persian instrument called the sehtar (meaning three strings). The sitar flourished in the 16th and 17th centuries and arrived at its present form in 18th-century India. It derives its distinctive timbre and resonance from sympathetic strings, bridge design, a long hollow neck and a gourd-shaped resonance chamber.

Used widely throughout the Indian subcontinent, the sitar became popularly known in the wider world through the works of Ravi Shankar, beginning in the late 1950s and early 1960s. A very young, Rohan Dasgupta, invited from Kolkata, India will present this year’s Spring Concert together with tabla maestro Udhai Mazumdar.
