Ravi Shankar Ensemble
A sparkling all-star ensemble assembled by Ravi Shankar’s wife and daughter honor the legacy of one of the greatest musicians of all time. The Ravi Shankar Ensemble is a multi-generational collective of world class musicians dedicated to the masterful compositions and enduring legacy of the uniquely legendary musician. They present a special program featuring visual elements from the Ravi Shankar archives alongside a dynamic selection of his soul-stirring music. In a moving tribute to one of the most beloved figures in the SFJAZZ family, this season also marks the launch of the Annual Zakir Hussain Sangam Concert. Named in honor of our late friend and legendary tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussain, this ongoing series will celebrate his profound musical legacy by spotlighting some of the greatest Indian classical musicians from around the world. The inaugural performance of this annual event will take place this season and marks the beginning of a new tradition rooted in the cross-cultural artistry Zakir championed throughout his life.
