About the musicians

Arjun Verma is the son of Roop Verma, whose sitar concerts and workshops many of our students have experienced here at the school. Already at the age of five Arjun began learning sitar by his father and as a teenager he studied directly with world-famous sitarist Ali Akbar Khan for eight years. Arjun continues in the best possible way the tradition - both as a concert musician and as a teacher. He teaches at Ali Akbar College of Music, the California Jazz Conservatory and is also the head of the sitar line at the East-West School of Music. He works from the same understanding of North Indian Classical Music as his two masters: the music is not entertainment, but a path to personal development - a means of connecting with the deepest experience of being human. The sound vibrations touch our inner being.

Read more about his background

This concept of music creates a unique opportunity for immersion and Arjun Verma provides this quality regardless of whether he plays for a small dedicated group or a large audience, as when he played for the United Nations in Geneva for the 50th anniversary. Or when he brings the sitar into Western music forms such as opera and jazz or collaborates with Bob Weir from Grateful Dead. Among the many artists he works with are Krishna Das and Alam Khan.

Gurdain Rayatt was born and lives in the United Kingdom, where he is one of the country’s leading tabla players. He has performed at many prominent venues and at major Indian music festivals such as Darbar and Saptak, as well as world music festivals like WOMAD. Gurdain studied under tabla legend Guru Acharya Pandit Shankar Ghosh. His performances range from traditional classical Indian music and dance to cross-cultural and experimental fusion works.
