      One of India’s leading classical vocalists, Pandit Jasraj, will perform at the Michael J. Fox Theatre (7373 McPherson Avenue, Burnaby) on Sunday (June 30) at 7 p.m.

      The 83-year-old Hisar-born musician belongs to the Mewati gharana style of Hindustani classical music. Jasraj began singing at a young age, training with his father and older brother, and later under Kewat gharana teachers. He is known for his three-and-a-half octave range and use of precise diction.

      Tickets to Pandit Jasraj in concert start at $35 and can be purchased at the Pandit Jasraj School of Music Office (14 East Broadway), by phone at 778-994-1233, or at Kamal’s Video Palace (103 – 8268 120 Street, Surrey).
