Rejoignez-nous le **12 septembre 2026** à **12h00** pour un après-midi intime et découvrez le dialogue musical envoûtant entre le Sarangi lyrique et les rythmes dynamiques du Tabla, chacun prenant tour à tour la tête de la conversation. Cet après-midi spécial met en vedette deux artistes de renom : **Satwinder Pal Singh** au **Sarangi** et **Ustad Shahbaz Hussain** au **Tabla**. Satwinder joue du Sarangi depuis son plus jeune âge et a donné sa première représentation publique à l'âge de 5 ans. Il fut d'abord formé par son père, puis par de grands maîtres vivants tels qu'Ustad Sabri Khan et Pandit Ram Narayan Ji. Quant à Shahbaz Hussain, il a d'abord étudié auprès de son père, le chanteur Ustad Mumtaz Hussain, avant de se perfectionner auprès d'Ustad Faiyaz Khan du gharana de Delhi, d'Ustad Shaukat Hussain Khan et d'Ustad Allah Rakha du gharana du Pendjab. Il a développé un style éclectique et polyvalent, dirigeant le groupe de fusion Indus et accompagnant des artistes classiques en tournée. Shahbaz est également actif comme professeur de tabla dans le nord de l'Angleterre. Ensemble, ils présenteront une performance conversationnelle unique qui met en lumière le lien profond entre le rythme et la mélodie de notre tradition musicale ancienne. Plutôt qu'une présentation conventionnelle, il s'agira d'un véritable échange musical où l'archet et le tempo occupent une place égale. La performance se déroulera en deux parties. La première sera consacrée au solo de Sarangi, soutenu par le Tabla, où les mélodies vocales et ondoyantes de l'instrument seront au premier plan. Dans la seconde partie, les rôles s'inversent : le Tabla prend la scène principale, encadré par le Sarangi. Cette structure en alternance promet une démonstration captivante de virtuosité classique, de respect mutuel et de découverte musicale spontanée. Cette soirée est bien plus que de la musique : c'est une invitation à s'arrêter, à réfléchir et à ressentir la résonance guérisseuse du son (Shabd). Depuis des siècles, les traditions classiques indiennes considèrent la musique comme une forme de méditation, un moyen de rétablir l'équilibre en soi et dans la communauté. Lorsque nous nous réunissons pour des concerts intimes et participons à des expériences musicales porteuses de sons ancestraux, un tout nouveau monde s'ouvre à nous. Dans le monde d'aujourd'hui, ces pratiques intemporelles nous rappellent le lien profond entre la musique, la santé mentale, la pleine conscience et le bien-être émotionnel. Cette soirée offre un renouveau : une chance de se sentir élevé, connecté et restauré à travers le langage universel de la musique. Si vous êtes à Reading ou dans les environs, venez nous rejoindre. Pour tout besoin particulier, contactez-nous. *Les portes ouvrent à 11h30, la musique commence à 12h00.* Politique du public : - Les prises de vue et photographies non autorisées sont interdites. - L'utilisation des téléphones portables (y compris les SMS) n'est pas autorisée pendant l'événement.

A **tabla solo** puts the [tabla](/fr-ca/instrument/tabla) in the lead. The player builds compositions across a fixed cycle of beats, the **taal**, while a melody instrument, often a [sarangi](/fr-ca/instrument/sarangi) or harmonium, keeps time with a short repeating tune called the **lehra**. For the rest of an Indian classical concert the tabla keeps time behind the melody instrument. Each cycle runs the same length, and every new cycle starts on beat one. That beat is the **sam**. You do not need to count. Listen for the lehra to repeat, then listen for the tabla to land on the sam. New to the drum? See [What is a tabla?](/fr-ca/faq/instruments-artforms/what-is-a-tabla) There are two Reading concerts on 12 September. What is the difference?
