Swar Mahal

This spectacular sitar and tabla duo have been spellbinding culturally diverse audiences throughout the UK for twelve years. Swar Mahal’s unique partnership has come from years of dedication and practice within the musical genre of Indian classical music for decades.

During this time they have developed a reputation amongst Indian music lovers both nationally and internationally for their onstage rapport. The many positive responses from audiences highlight their engaging and dynamic performances that begin with slow, meditative melodies unfolding into complex exciting rhythmical interplay.

A superbly atmospheric and fascinating evening's entertainment which delighted everyone present! Tony, Ilminster Arts Centre

They have developed an ever evolving trust and delight in each other’s musical virtuosity. Their comfort with each other is never compromised by complacency - they are still able to surprise and challenge each other with playful musical dialogues that intrigue and delight their audience.

In 2014 Swar Mahal were voted the best group By the MTM South West Asian and Ethnic Minorities Awards for 2014.
