Rishab Rikhiram Sharma to bring sitar concert to Dubai

DUBAI, UAE: Sitarist Rishab Rikhiram Sharma will perform at Coca-Cola Arena on January 30, 2027, bringing a programme rooted in Indian classical music and centred on themes of mindfulness and wellness to Dubai.

The concert will be presented by Pantheon Art, Culture, Real Estate (Pantheon ACR) and organised by its live entertainment arm, HOP Events.

A fifth-generation sitar player, Sharma has been introducing the instrument to a new generation of listeners through performances that move beyond conventional concert formats. His musical approach explores the connection between sound, stillness and the mind.

According to the organisers, the Dubai concert will draw on that approach, combining the traditions of the sitar with a contemporary presentation intended to encourage audiences to pause and reflect.

The performance forms part of Pantheon ACR’s cultural programme in the UAE, which includes large-scale live music events and smaller cultural gatherings. The company describes the platform as an extension of its activities beyond real estate, bringing together music, art, culture and wellness.

HOP Events is continuing to develop performances across musical genres and locations, with Sharma’s appearance adding to its programme in Dubai.
