Join us for a very special afternoon of Indian Classical music featuring sitar maestro Shakir Khan, and a Tabla Trio celebrating the legacy of Ustad Zakir Hussain.
Shakir Khan is the eighth-generation torchbearer of a distinguished musical lineage. With a deep command of Sur (melody) and Laya (rhythm), Shakir’s performances captivate audiences worldwide. His artistry extends beyond classical music, seamlessly blending into international fusion projects such as the European Jazz Ensemble (Germany) and Human Evolution (Spain). Committed to preserving and sharing his heritage, he founded SwarSetu in memory of his grandfather, training students globally.
Shakir has graced many prestigious festivals including Dover Lane Music Conference (Kolkata), Sawai Gandharva Festival (Pune), Saptak Festival (Ahmedabad), Bombay Festival, Tansen Music Festival (Gwalior), and Shankarlal Music Festival (Delhi). He has also performed extensively across the US, Canada, and Europe, including a celebrated appearance at Woodstock Festival, Poland (2008). A brilliant performer and dedicated mentor, Shakir Khan continues to enchant audiences worldwide with the depth, elegance, and innovation of his music.
The Tabla is a revered Indian percussion instrument, traditionally rooted in Hindustani classical music. Few have embodied its spirit and artistry like Ustad Zakir Hussain, the legendary maestro whose contributions have shaped the world of rhythm and percussion. His brilliance continues to inspire musicians across the globe.
In this special tribute, three distinguished tabla artists, Debajyoti Sanyal (Kolkata, India), Rupak Pandit (Gorey) and Nitin Prabhakar (Dublin) will come together to present a Tabla Trio, celebrating the legacy of Ustad Zakir Hussain.
