Performance

Ravi Shankar's Music

0 upcoming performances in New York

“Ravi Shankar’s Music” returns as a concert work shaped for Western stages, first assembled in 1974 as an Indian classical revue under Shankar’s direction. At Town Hall, the World Music Institute presents the Ravi Shankar Ensemble with sitarists Anoushka Shankar and Shubhendra Rao alongside tabla, flute, voice, and dance, drawing on raga-based repertoire and its rhythmic architecture. In New York City, the evening reads as a record of how Indian classical music entered major concert halls without surrendering its formal discipline. It offers a clear view of lineage, collaboration, and translation across audiences.
