Sarah Sarhandi – June 2016 BPF caught up with half-English, half-Pakistani violist, Sarah Sarhandi during Alchemy Festival at Southbank last month. Her work has been described as an “individual story, that of a person with joint British and Pakistani heritage and the experiences, stories, imaginings and impressions … At times the worlds she inhabits meet seamlessly, at other times conflict – a dance between polarities, artists, masculine and feminine, dream and reality, light and dark, countries and cultures – a new and exhilarating energy” We couldn’t wait to get to know her a little more.. “My dad would make the Beatles sound like a raag”
