“A combination of theatricality, musical heart and phenomenal virtuosity. It was over-the-top exciting.”—Seen and Heard International

Zakir Hussain is a musician of the highest order, one whose consistently brilliant and enthralling performances have established him as a national treasure in his home country of India and one of its reigning cultural ambassadors. His playing is marked by uncanny intuition and masterful improvisational dexterity, demonstrating a “virtuosity that is barely to be believed” (Washington Post). This cross-cultural collaborative performance combines the remarkable talents of the preeminent classical tabla virtuoso of our time with those of an impressive roster of percussionists.
