This dazzling display of drumming with virtuosos from India’s classical and folk traditions is under the direction of percussion legend Zakir Hussain, the premier tabla (kettledrums) player of his generation and one of India’s most esteemed cultural ambassadors. The program features tabla solos and duets, sitar and sarangi, exhilarating ensemble collaborations, and a breathtaking segment with Meitei Pung Cholom, the dancing drummers of Manipur who are noted for their acrobatic choreography. Ustad Sultan Khan will not be appearing on this program as previously advertised.
