Shared Values Festival
Shared Values is a festival of South Asian art music, contemporary, classical & traditional that seeks to showcase the achievements of non-South Asian musicians who have wholeheartedly adopted the aesthetic values of this music and emerged as accomplished performers. We believe that the breadth and depth of these artists’ with their adoptive musical culture can only be put in perspective when they are given an opportunity to share a platform with leading indigenous performers. This is a festival to project that South Asian music is universal, welcoming and inclusive. (click on the artist list to book online, click on venue for directions).
Sitar virtuoso, Nishat Khan has an impeccable international reputation and the north indian is regarded as one of the towering performers of the pre-eminent instrument of Indian classical music.
He returns to London to perform at the prestigious Union Chapel, accompanied by tabla player Pandit Sanju Sahai and with it’s “infinite and imaginative variety”, as declared by The Guardian, this is truly to be a magical evening.

Gandharva Choir
Creative, innovative and experimental, the Gandharva Choir has presented hundreds of striking performances of Indian choral music in India and abroad over the last four decades. Founded in 1972 under the leadership of Pt Vinaya Chandra Maudgalya, the Gandharva Choir is presently conducted by Pt Madhup Mudgal.
The Gandharva Choir has successfully experimented with classical and folk styles of music. It not only specializes in difficult classical forms such as Dhrupad, Dhamar, Varnam, Kriti and Tarana, but is equally adept at patriotic, devotional and folk forms. Its extensive repertoire includes hymns from the ancient Vedas, compositions in the Hindustani as well as Carnatic styles of music, Rabindra Sangeet and modern experimental works involving the use of harmony.

Women In Music
Equity and diversity within an overarching theme of an ‘integrated, multicultural Britain’ are central objectives of our artistic agenda. While women have played a key role in Asian musical traditions their presence on the concert stage has been a fraction of that of their male counterparts, to say the least. We aim to bring to the fore numerous outstanding women artists in Asian music and help them perform, network, collaborate and organise as a collective.
Our ‘Women in Music’ festival seeks to showcase newly commissioned works as well as traditional art forms by women performers with the goal of fuelling the public’s interest and involvement in the Asian arts, and in the process, raising awareness of the underdeveloped role of British Asian women in the public sphere in general. Through music, we seek to ask those tough questions that are often ignored, about the role of women in British Asian communities which often struggle with the challenges of the 21st century, not infrequently because of lingering traditional perceptions of gender roles.
