Sheema Mukherjee

Working across many styles and genres, from eastern and western classical music to jazz, pop and dance music, sitarist and composer Sheema Mukherjee is a versatile and creative musician.

She is evolving both as a composer and as a collaborator (TransGlobal Underground and The Imagined Village) and is a rigorous and disciplined teacher of improvisation and composition on both eastern and western instruments.

Sheema is currently on tour with The Imagined Village and will be performing with them on 28 August at Shrewsbury Folk Festival.

She is also composing Bending The Dark, a specially commissioned New Music 20x12 piece for next year’s Cultural Olympiad. This will be performed with The Imagined Village, with support from the PRS for Music Foundation, the BBC, The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, and Sound and Music.
