Purbayan Chatterjee with Rakesh Chaurasia and Ojas Adhiya are set to perform in New York City
on Sunday, October 23, 2022, at Kaufman Music Center.
The show is a special evening of Indian classical music featuring three of the most exciting and celebrated talents of the Hindustani tradition: Purbayan Chatterjee is a gifted sitar player, and the vibrancy of his playing, deeply inspired by the late legendary sitarist Nikhil Banerjee, has attracted artists including Zakir Hussain, Shankar Mahadevan, and Pat Metheny to seek him out for collaborations.
Purbayan Chatterjee will be accompanied by bansuri (flute) master Rakesh Chaurasia (nephew and child prodigy of flutist Hariprasad Chaurasia), and tabla virtuoso Ojas Adhiya, also a former child prodigy, who has collaborated with Hariprasad Chaurasia and Anoushka Shankar, among other notable stars.
This concert is part of the World Music Institute’s Masters of Indian Music Series
