Rishab Rikhiram Sharma, the last and youngest disciple of the legendary Pandit Ravi Shankar, is bringing his critically acclaimed Sitar for Mental Health Tour 2026 to Asia—starting with his Singapore debut on 25 January at Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay.

Set in the iconic concert hall, this one-night-only showcase promises an evening of immersive Indian neo-classical music fused with guided mindfulness—designed to soothe, uplift, and heal.

Curated as a multi-sensory journey, Sitar for Mental Health blends classical ragas, dynamic improvisations, ambient textures and contemplative stillness to spark meaningful conversations around emotional well-being. Singapore’s cosmopolitan crowd, wellness seekers, and culture lovers are invited to discover a rare moment of sonic serenity.

"This experience is more than a concert; it is an invitation to pause, breathe, and find stillness in a world that rarely slows down," Sharma shares. “To bring it to Singapore—a place that embraces culture so wholeheartedly—is incredibly meaningful.”
