About This Event

In a typically boundary-crossing Prom, Jules Buckley has devised a project with star sitar player and composer Anoushka Shankar at its centre.

In the centenary year of her father Ravi Shankar鈥檚 birth and with the aim of presenting 鈥榬agas and the sitar in a new light鈥�, she combines recordings of some of his works both with her own sitar improvisations and with live electronics by composer/producer Gold Panda.

Alongside conductor and arranger Jules Buckley, Anoushka Shankar has produced new arrangements of her own pieces for the Britten Sinfonia strings, who are joined by her regular collaborator percussionist Manu Delago. Among them are 鈥榃andering Around鈥�, 鈥榁oice of the Moon鈥�, 鈥楲and of Gold鈥� and 鈥楥hasing Shadows鈥�.

It will not be possible to have an audience at the Royal Albert Hall.

Live on 大象传媒 Radio 3 & on 大象传媒 Four at 8.00pm
