Cette fois, trois musiciens sur scène, et deux manières de jouer un raga sur des cordes. [Adnan Khan](/fr-fr/artist/adnan-khan), sitariste nommé aux Grammy Awards, joue dans le style gayaki ang, qui façonne l'instrument sur le modèle de la voix chantée. Il a reçu ses premières leçons de son grand-père, le regretté Ustad Zafar Ahmed Khan, et se forme toujours auprès de son père, le sitariste Ustad Saeed Khan. [Vinay Desai](/fr-fr/artist/vinay-desai) joue du **santour**, l'instrument à cent cordes du Cachemire, en disciple direct de Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, lauréat du Padma Vibhushan. Le sitar se pince et glisse d'une note à l'autre. Le santour se frappe et ne peut pas glisser : il avance par traits rapides. Les deux instruments partagent un même raga et le parcourent par des chemins différents. [Ustad Akram Khan](/fr-fr/artist/akram-khan) tient le tabla pendant les deux parties. Il représente la septième génération de sa famille dans l'**Ajrada Gharana**. Formé d'abord par son arrière-grand-père, Ustad Mohammad Shafi Khan, puis par Ustad Niazu Khan, il enseigne plus de quinze kaydas classiques de ce gharana. Ouverture des portes à 18 h 45, début du concert à 19 h. Le programme détaillé suivra.

The name comes from the santoor, the hundred-stringed instrument of Kashmir. The tour brings the sitar player Adnan Khan and the santoor player Vinay Desai together with the tabla player Ustad Akram Khan. In Manchester, Ustad Shahbaz Hussain also plays tabla. The sitar is plucked and slides between notes; the santoor is struck and cannot slide, so it moves in runs. The tour plays [Oxford](/fr-fr/event/a-hundred-strings-in-oxford-two-strings-one-pulse), [Manchester](/fr-fr/event/a-hundred-strings-in-manchester-strings-of-kashmir-and-delhi), [Bournemouth](/fr-fr/event/a-hundred-strings-in-bournemouth-ragas-by-the-sea) and London.

Is the Holywell Music Room in Oxford accessible for wheelchair users and people with other access needs, and who should I contact about it? The [Holywell Music Room](/fr-fr/venue/holywell-music-room) has a **ramped main entrance** on a loose gravel path, **level access** to the auditorium and one **accessible toilet**, according to the Oxford University AccessGuide.

For directions, see [getting to the Holywell Music Room](/fr-fr/faq/how-do-i-get-to-the-holywell-music-room-in-oxford). KalaSudha has presented [Oxford Raga Unison](/fr-fr/faq/has-kalasudha-performed-in-oxford-before) at the Holywell Music Room. Who is the sitar player Adnan Khan, who taught him, and what is distinctive about his playing? [**Adnan Khan**](/fr-fr/artist/adnan-khan) is a Grammy-nominated [sitar](/fr-fr/instrument/sitar) player from Delhi who works in the **gayaki ang**, the approach that shapes the instrument after the singing voice. He took his first lessons from his maternal grandfather, the late Zafar Ahmed Khan, and trains with his father, the sitar player Saeed Khan. His uncle, the khayal singer Mashkoor Ali Khan, taught him the gayaki ang at the ITC Sangeet Research Academy in Kolkata. Melody leads in his playing, and a raga's notes keep their shape through his fastest runs. Who is the santoor player Vinay Desai, who taught him, and how does he play? [**Vinay Desai**](/fr-fr/artist/vinay-desai) plays the [santoor](/fr-fr/instrument/santoor), the hundred-stringed instrument of Kashmir, struck with two light curved mallets. He studied with Shivkumar Sharma, who received the Padma Vibhushan, through Sharma's final years. A struck string cannot bend, so his expression comes from where the strokes fall and how they are spaced. His concerts open slow, with no beat at all, until the raga has a shape. Then the **tabla** comes in, and the close is fast. How do the sitar and the santoor differ in how they are built, how they are played and how they sound? The **sitar** is plucked and slides between notes. The **santoor** is struck and cannot slide, so it moves in runs and repeated strokes. The sitar is a long-necked lute with a gourd body, movable curved frets and sympathetic strings beneath the playing strings. The santoor is the hundred-stringed instrument of Kashmir: a flat wooden box strung with metal strings, struck with a pair of light wooden mallets. On the sitar you hear a phrase held and bent, the way a singer does. On the santoor each note rings on after the hand has moved. See [what is a sitar](/fr-fr/faq/instruments-artforms/what-is-a-sitar) and [what is a santoor](/fr-fr/faq/instruments-artforms/what-is-a-santoor). What is the Ajrara (Ajrada) gharana of tabla, where did it begin, and what is it known for? The [**Ajrara gharana**](/fr-fr/gharana/ajrara-gharana), also spelt Ajrada, is a school of [tabla](/fr-fr/instrumental/hindustani-classical/tabla) that arose in the late 18th or early 19th century in the village of Ajrara, in Meerut district. Most accounts trace it to two brothers, Kallu Khan and Miru Khan, who learnt in Delhi, making it an offshoot of the Delhi gharana. Its players add the ring finger to the Delhi technique. It is best known for qaidas, themes with set variations, in **aad laya**, three strokes to every two beats. [Ustad Akram Khan](/fr-fr/artist/akram-khan) plays in the gharana today.
