Leeds-born composer, arranger and improviser; consummate soloist and generous collaborator; custodian of tradition and restless innovator, multi-award winning sitarist Jasdeep Singh Degun takes to the Howard Assembly Room stage once more, this time for classical story telling.
Following his triumphant sitar concerto Arya, premiered with the Orchestra of Opera North in 2020, Jasdeep’s debut album, Anomaly, recorded with the legendary Nitin Sawhney, was released in 2021 on Peter Gabriel’s Real World Records. As Artist in Residence at Opera North in 2022, Jasdeep combined the scale of orchestral music with the spontaneity of Indian classical improvisation in Orpheus – thrilling audiences and critics alike with awards including Outstanding Achievement in Opera at both the Critics’ Circle and the UK Theatre Awards, and Best Stage Production at the Asian Media Awards.
