L. SHANKAR WITH ABHIJIT BANERJEE AND ROHAN KRISHNAMURTHY

L. Shankar, renowned for his deeply soulful performances of Indian classical music, is a soloist who has also accompanied many of South India’s leading vocalists.  In the 1970s, he cofounded the innovative Indo-jazz group Shakti with John McLaughlin, Zakir Hussain, and Vikku Vinayakram.  In the 1980s, he introduced a 10-string double violin capable of covering the whole range of the orchestra’s string section from violin to double bass. He will be joined by tabla virtuoso Abhijit Banerjee and mridangam master Rohan Krishnamurthy, one of the leading voices in Indian classical and cross-genre music in the South Asian diaspora.
