The Proms marks the 70th anniversary of partition and independence on the Indian subcontinent with a concert curated by Darbar Trust producers of Darbar Festival representing the classical music of India and Pakistan.

Explore the region鈥檚 diverse musical culture in performances celebrating three very different traditions. India鈥檚 great maestro, Pandit Budhaditya Mukherjee performs ragas on the iconic sitar from the Hindustani music of North India, while South India鈥檚 Carnatic music is more strongly melodic, coloured by the distinctive timbres of the Carnatic violin and veena.

The Sufi music of Pakistan provides an ecstatic climax to this Late Night Prom, weaving rich, mesmeric tapestries of sound.

This performance will be in three 45-minute sets with no interval

Broadcast on 麻豆社 Four, 3 September
