Ravi Shankar's Compositions New York Performances

At Town Hall in New York City, “Ravi Shankar’s Compositions” is presented as a live play built around Shankar’s written works and their stage life. The program brings together the Ravi Shankar Ensemble with the World Music Institute, alongside Sukanya Shankar, Anoushka Shankar, and Shubhendra Rao. In a city that helped normalize Indian classical music within U.S. concert halls, the evening reads as a record of transmission across generations. One clear point emerges: the compositions function less as monuments than as a working repertoire shaped in performance.
