Riverside Ragas: Shubhendra Rao & Saskia Rao–de Haas
Together, Shubhendra Rao and Saskia Rao-de Haas offer audiences a rare experience, as the pair carry Indian music towards new horizons.
A protégé of legendary Maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar, Shubhendra is an unmatched master of the sitar, whose playing reminds the listener of classic performances transformed for today’s era. Saskia Rao-de Haas is a brilliant cellist from the Netherlands, and considered a pioneer in the music world for introducing her Indian cello to North Indian classical music.
On stage, Shubhendra and Saskia’s effortless musical communication and improvisation is a joyful experience, something which both Indian classical music fans and those new to the genre will find mesmerising.
