Classical tabla virtuoso, Zakir Hussain, and premier santoor maestro, Rahul Sharma, join in remembrance of the legendary Hindustani musician, Pandit Shivkumar Sharma. Widely acclaimed and highly esteemed, Pandit Shivkumar Sharma brought his Kashmiri folk music instrument, the santoor, to the classical concert stage. His concerts with Zakir Hussain were considered among the greatest musical feasts of our time. After five decades of accompanying this great artist, Zakir is bringing their relationship forward in duet with his son and worthy successor, the brilliant Rahul Sharma, who has established himself as the premier santoor maestro of his generation.
Hussain’s expressive tabla drumming matched with Sharma’s command of the santoor makes for a stunning combination of improvisational talent. Even though the santoor and tabla are normally associated with classical Indian music, Rahul and Zakir are renowned for pioneering the use of their respective instruments in contemporary formats.
