New Delhi — After mesmerizing audiences across India with his soul-stirring fusion of classical Indian music and mindfulness, young sitar maestro Rishab Rikhiram Sharma is now taking his acclaimed initiative, Sitar For Mental Health, to a global stage. Announcing an expansive European and North American Tour set to run from September 14 to November 12, 2025, Rishab is poised to take his sound-healing mission to international heights.
The tour will officially launch on September 14 at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) India Weekend in New York, where Rishab will perform as part of a grand three-day cultural celebration alongside Shankar Mahadevan and Shreya Ghoshal. The final stop of this transformative journey will be at Meridian Hall in Toronto on November 12.
Other key performances include:
- October 1: The Royal Festival Hall, London
- October 5: The Concertgebouw, Amsterdam
- October 7: Alhambra Theatre, Paris
Rishab’s unique blend of Indian classical ragas, meditative breathwork, and community-based mindfulness has made him a modern ambassador of the neoclassical music movement. His tour aims to use the healing power of sitar and sound to address growing mental health needs across cultures.
Fans can expect a powerful combination of live renditions of his original works like The Burning Ghat, Tandavam, and Chanakya, as well as his viral covers of Game of Thrones and Harry Potter themes. There will also be performances fusing Bollywood melodies with classical sitar, all enveloped in an immersive, wellness-driven experience.
Speaking about the tour, Rishab said, “This is more than a concert; it’s a journey of collective healing. Music has the power to transcend language and geography, and I’m grateful for the chance to share this vision globally.”
Having already built a devoted following across age groups and cultures, Rishab Rikhiram Sharma’s upcoming international tour promises to be not only a musical delight but also a deeply emotional and healing experience for global audiences.
Tickets and full tour details are expected to be available soon on Rishab’s official website and partnering cultural platforms.
