“With nine Grammy nominations under her belt, Shankar is firmly established as the 21st century’s most innovative sitar player.”—Pitchfork

Anoushka Shankar returns to Athens for the first time in 25 years with a new quintet and a multifaceted and dynamic new sound. Together they perform music from her two recent mini-albums, Chapter I: Forever, For Now, and Chapter II: How Dark it is Before Dawn, alongside thoroughly shaken-up, reinterpreted gems from her previous releases, including the Grammy-nominated live album Between Us… Since its debut in India in 2022, the quintet has been hailed as one of the best ensembles to have shared the stage with Shankar in her 28-year global touring career. The energy and camaraderie they share is unmatched as she pioneers an updated musical vocabulary through inventive arrangements, sensitive virtuosity, and a neoclassical approach to the rich music tradition to which she belongs.
