Highlights from the 2010 Darbar Indian classical music festival: Hari Sivanesen.

Lopa Kothari and Jameela Siddiqi with highlights from 2010's Darbar Indian classical music festival. With veena player Hari Sivanesen and Jyotsna Srikanth on carnatic-style violin.

Lopa Kothari and Jameela Siddiqi present highlights from the Darbar Festival of Indian classical music, held earlier this month at Kings Place in London. In a focus on South Indian music, veena player Hari Sivanesen is joined by T Pirashanna on mridangam, and Jyotsna Srikanth plays the carnatic-style violin. 
Producer: Roger Short

This is the first of three programmes from this year's Darbar Festival - the second is next week, and the third, featuring santoor virtuoso Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma, will be broadcast in the autumn. The Darbar Festival is the biggest event of its kind in Europe: artists from both North and South Indian musical traditions were presented in fourteen concerts over the Easter weekend - a special feature of Darbar is that the concerts are held across the day from morning until night, allowing for the different raags to be heard in their true time context. Lopa Kothari and Jameela Siddiqi will be bringing their own expertise and insights to these programmes, as well as talking to the performers themselves.
