You hear three musicians, and two ways of playing on strings. [A Hundred Strings: Ragas by the Sea](/event/a-hundred-strings-in-bournemouth-ragas-by-the-sea), KalaSudha's concert at the Palace Court Theatre in Bournemouth, brings together the **sitar** and the **santoor**, with tabla. Adnan Khan plucks the sitar and slides between notes, the way a singer does. Vinay Desai strikes the santoor, the hundred-stringed instrument of Kashmir, with a pair of light wooden mallets. He cannot slide on it, so he moves in runs. Ustad Akram Khan plays the **tabla**, a pair of hand drums. You need no background. See [what to expect at your first concert](/faq/at-the-concert/i-have-never-been-to-an-indian-classical-concert-will-i-follow-it). The evening runs in two halves with an interval.
