Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco
More than just a towering figure in India, sitar legend Ravi Shankar is a consummate ambassador who has played a leading role in the introduction of Indian music to countries throughout the world since the 1940s.
The San Francisco Jazz Festival, the premier jazz and music event in the Western United States, takes place in San Francisco at multiple venues from October 10th through November 21st. This very special performance is under the auspice of the San Francisco Jazz Festival.
His unsurpassed rhythmic sophistication and melodic inventiveness turn every performance into a transcendent experience. At 89, he has lost none of his power, though we recognize this may be one of the last opportunities to see the maestro perform in the Bay Area.
Shankar shares the stage with one of the most promising sitar stars, his 28-year-old daughter. Anoushka Shankar has emerged as one of the leading world music artists today, with several recordings and Grammy® Award nominations to her credit. Her collaborations with artists including Thievery Corporation and Karsh Kale are bringing Indian music to an entirely new audience.
