Sitar Concert with Arjun Verma

Friday, November 22, 2019

7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

 

 

Arjun Verma is a sitarist trained by Maestro Ali Akbar Khan. As a child, Arjun
learned from his father, sitarist Roop Verma, himself a disciple of Ali Akbar Khan
and Ravi Shankar.

As a teenager, Arjun was very fortunate to study with Ali Akbar Khan for eight years, and since the Maestro’s passing in 2009, with his son Alam Khan. The combination of these influences results in a style encompassing the
profound as well as exhilarating aspects of North Indian classical music.

Arjun has performed around the world, including noteworthy performances with
St. Louis Symphony, Houston Grand Opera, and at Prague Castle, Pattee Arena,
the Fillmore, and at the United Nations in Geneva.

Arjun has performed with renowned musicians in many genres, including Pandit
Swapan Chaudhuri, Alam Khan, Bob Weir, Pandit Sharda Sahai, Ustad Shabbir
Nisar, Nitin Mitta, Kai Eckhardt, Krishna Das, Anirban Roy Chowdhury, and Salar
Nader.

Arjun’s music has received critical acclaim from leading publications, including
the New York Times, Sruti Magazine, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and the San
Francisco Chronicle.
