Sitar Player Jonathan

Jonathan is currently one of the most versatile sitarists in the world, having studied both Indian and Western music. From these traditions, he has developed a unique approach to the sitar, viewing it as an instrument rather than a genre. His ability to read Western notation has allowed him to work on many collaborations, and the wide range of artists Jonathan has worked with reflects the diversity in his playing:
Joji Hattori, Paul Weller, Kathryn Tickell, BBC Concert Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Kumar Bose, Kavita Krishnamutri, Kuljit Bhamra, Erich Gruenburg, Rohan De Saram, Kenny Wheeler, The Orlando Consort, John Wilson, Bombay Dub Orchestra, Future Sounds of London, Sarah Brightman, Noel Gallagher, and Sir Paul McCartney.

Jonathan is always in high demand for private and corporate events. With 20 years of experience in his field and over 800 performances, Jonathan can provide the very best in live sitar for your event. Jonathan has performed at events across the UK for clients such as Google, Cartier, Omega Watches, Sir Paul McCartney, and Mick Jagger. The sitar and tabla make perfect background music during dinner or a cocktail reception, and are ideal entertainment for Asian-themed events.
