Ustad Kiran Pal Singh – santoor

Southall based Kiranpal Singh has settled in England since 1987 and has gained respect and admiration for  his various santoor performances in the UK, Europe and beyond, in recitals, festivals and lecture demonstrations. Admired by both audiences and critics, his mastery of the advanced techniques of the santoor, combined with a creative flair and spontaneous imagination, has developed a recognizable individuality in his performances. This, in turn, has led him to be sought after as a co-leader of ground-breaking developmental and cross-cultural projects, whilst continuing to advance the presentation of Indian Classical music to ever widening audiences through his solo work.
