This concert of classical Hindustani music by members of the Sitar Project was performed live on 22 October 2020 as part of The University of Edinburgh's Celebrate South Asia festival. The programme includes music in the dhrupad tradition performed on the very rare Rudra Veena, as well as Sitar and Tabla duos.

The Sitar Project is based in Edinburgh and provides classes, concerts and workshops in all aspects of Hindustani music throughout Scotland and online. The concert will feature Arfan Iqbal (Rudra Veena), Mike Black (Tabla), Dr Alec Cooper (Sitar) and Laurence Howells (Sitar and Tambura) all of whom are regular visitors to the concert room at St Cecilia’s.
