The Space Between The Notes

1 upcoming performance in New York

Now at NJPAC, *The Space Between The Notes* centers on Niladri Kumar’s genre-blurring approach to Indian classical language, framed as a tribute to tabla artist, composer, and producer Ustad Zakir Hussain. Hussain, son of Alla Rakha, spent much of his career in the San Francisco Bay Area and helped carry Indian classical music into broader American music life, including New York stages. Featured performers include Niladri Kumar and Zakir Hussain. The program’s clearest point is not fusion for its own sake, but attention to how rhythm and melody travel between traditions.
