Carnegie Hall Subscriptions - Perspectives: Zakir Hussain
Perspectives: Zakir Hussain
Renowned Indian classical tabla player Zakir Hussain was the youngest percussionist to be named Padma Shri, a special honor bestowed by the Indian government, in recognition of his distinguished contribution to Indian music. As part of his Carnegie Hall Perspectives residency, Hussain will appear with santur master Shivkumar Sharma and will also perform with his own group, Masters of Percussion. Hussain is no stranger to high-profile collaborations, having produced Mickey Hart’s Grammy-winning Planet Drum and recorded with The Beatles, and this season, he joins American double-bass wizard Edgar Meyer (with whom he shares two Grammys) and banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck. A longtime mentor and teacher, Hussain has been visiting professor at both Princeton and Stanford universities. He will extend his mentorship skills this season at Carnegie Hall by leading aspiring players in a Professional Training Workshop. Please note: This series is not available online.
