A descendant of one of India’s most influential musical families, sitarist Shujaat Khan is among the top-ranking North Indian classical musicians of his generation. He is today’s leading proponent of the Imdadkhani gharana tradition of sitar playing. Shujaat Khan will be joined by tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussain who has revolutionized Indian percussion. Through collaborations with artists such as Ravi Shankar, George Harrison, Van Morrison, Tito Puente and the Hong Kong Symphony, Hussain has brought the music of India to an international stage.
