Anoushka Shankar Sitar player and composer
I recently went to see the cellist and composer Ayanna Witter-Johnson at Wigmore Hall. She’s a friend who I have worked with a lot, so it was lovely to see where she’s got to and where she’s going. I loved how she centred the show on her compositions. She pulled in two quartets, and lots of different guests, and so you really got to hear the scope of one person’s compositions.
The singer Arooj Aftab’s newest album, , came out last year. It’s impossible to say if it’s my favourite, but it’s probably my most listened to. I love what she’s done with these beautiful old Sufi songs – really gorgeous,
