Intro to Indian Classical Music: ​Tabla with Sunny Matharu

Curious about Indian Classical Music? Come learn about this beautiful musical culture with the Indian Classical Music Society of Vancouver. Each month we’ll introduce a new instrument and explore its role in the many forms of Indian Classical Music.

This month we'll be exploring the tabla, the rhythmic heart of much of the traditional music of the Indian subcontinent and surrounding regions. Our instructor will be the remarkable local tabla player Sunny Matharu.

Sunny Matharu grew up in a musical family, beginning his training in Tabla at a very young age. His training started with Ustad Satwant Singh, who gave him a strong foundation in the art of Tabla playing. To this day, he continues to learn under the guidance of Tabla maestro Pandit Yogesh Samsi, one of the foremost tabla players of the Punjab Gharana. Apart from performing, Sunny has taught Tabla at various institutes around the world and is a dedicated teacher, inspiring young children and students of all ages to learn Tabla and explore it as an art-form. Sunny currently resides in Surrey, BC and is much sought after as a solo performer, recording artiste, accompanist, and teacher.
