SAA-uk and Leeds International Concert Season brought to life Sacred Music: Celebrate the Spirit, an exploration of sacred music synonymous with the Hindu, Islamic, Sikh, and Christian faiths.
In 2023, a summer call out for artists led us to meeting with four outstanding specialist musicians, whose music practice is steeped in sacred music.
Over a series of collaborative wintertime workshops, Daniel Gethin, Eeshar Singh, Salim Sabri and Deepa Shakti delved into each musical world together, exploring both common threads and unique characteristics of their sacred music traditions.
Culminating in a springtime concert the following year, the artists presented that journey; a musical expression of what it meant to create interfaith music – ultimately, a celebration of each religious tradition and their communities present here in Leeds.
Concept and Artistic Direction by Keranjeet Kaur Virdee MBE. The four musicians collaboratively shaped the music direction and creative vision.
South Asian Arts-uk (SAA-uk) is a registered charity that was set up in 1997 by Ustad Dharambir Singh MBE to preserve the art of South Asian classical music and dance. The organisation was designed to pass down its love of the South Asian arts to the next generations through performances, community events and a complex education programme.
