Sitar player and composer Anoushka Shankar is a singular figure in Indian classical and progressive world music scenes. Her dynamic and spiritual musicality has garnered several prestigious accolades. Deeply rooted in the Indian Classical music tradition, Anoushka studied exclusively from the age of nine under her father and guru, the late Ravi Shankar, and made her professional debut as a classical sitarist at the age of thirteen.

Through her bold and collaborative approach as a composer, Anoushka has encouraged cross-cultural dialogue whilst demonstrating the versatility of the sitar across musical genres. She is joined in concert at festivals across Europe by Austrian London-based Hang player Manu Delago.
