An evening of traditional South Indian (Carnatic) classical music, by the violin virtuoso L Shankar.

Shankar plays a custom-made electric double violin, innovating and expanding the range of the Carnatic tradition. His accompanists on this tour are tabla master Abhijit Bannerjee and percussionist Rohan Krishnamurthy.

Shankar is known beyond the world of Indian music, for his collaboration with jazz legends like Ornette Coleman, Jimmy Garrison and John McLaughlin. With McLaughlin, he founded the group Shakti in 1975, one of the first groups to meld Eastern and Western musical traditions. Shankar was awarded a Grammy for his masterwork soundtrack (with Peter Gabriel) for the film The Last Temptation of Christ. Other well known music partners have included Frank Zappa, Elton John, Ginger Baker, Sting and many others.

Note: This concert will be a classical music performance.
