Workshop on the Sitar held by di Shujaat Khan

Indian music and dance is one of the main subjects in the teaching programmes of the Intercultural Institute of Comparative Music Studies, which organises courses and concerts, mainly in the summer period.
After an interlude of a few years the sitar course will also start up again. The teacher Shujaat H. Khan is one of the most acclaimed virtuosos with considerable experience as a concert performer and teacher both in India and abroad, especially in the United States.
Arguably the leading instrument in the musical tradition of Northern India, the sitar is known in the West thanks to musicians like Ravi Shankar. Since the 1970s they have illustrated the art of this plucked string instrument, also through performances with Western artists (such as Yehudi Menuhin or George Harrison).
