Witness the irresistible grooves of some of India’s most talented classical musicians in action as De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) sees a welcome return of its new lunchtime music series for its latest instalment.
Europe’s finest Sitar maestro Roopa Panesar will be accompanied by the emerging master of the Tabla, Surdarshan Chana for what is set to be an uplifting, entertaining and irresistible concert.
The second concert in the unique series will take place in DMU’s Trinity House Chapel, The Newark, Leicester, LE2 7BY at 1pm on Wednesday 7 June.
The three part series of events has been made possible thanks to a unique partnership between DMUmusic and the celebrated Darbar Arts and Heritage Trust.
