Zakir Hussain & Rahul Sharma are set to perform at Symphony Space on Sunday, October 20, 2024. In terms of Hindustani music, Pandit Shivkumar Sharma stands tall. Widely acclaimed and highly regarded, he brought his Kashmiri folk music instrument, the santoor (santur), to the classical concert stage. His concerts with Zakir Hussain were celebrated.

After 5 decades of accompanying this great artist, Zakir, a World Music Institute Honorary Board member, is bringing their relationship forward in a duo with his son and worthy successor, the brilliant Rahul Sharma, who has established himself as the premier santoor maestro of his generation.
