ZAKIR HUSSAIN AND MASTERS OF PERCUSSION
Presented by Virginia Arts Festival. Known globally for his mastery of the tabla—“the drum with a thousand voices”—Zakir Hussain has collaborated with a wide range of musicians, including Yo-Yo Ma, Béla Fleck, Van Morrison, and George Harrison. For this Festival return engagement, Hussain has gathered a dream team of percussionists representing music and cultures from around the world, including djembe player Melissa Hié; mridangam and vibraphone master Anantha Krishna, and multi-instrument percussionist Shikhar Naad Qureshi. A global journey in sound!
