About the event
Sitar maestro Niladri Kumaar is a maverick musician and acclaimed ambassador for Indian music. A frequent collaborator with tabla icon Zakir Hussain, Kumaar makes his Penn Live Arts debut in the Philadelphia premiere of The Space Between the Notes, a musical concert journey weaving centuries-old tradition with creative innovation, all based on the documentary film recording of the duo’s last performance together. With an ensemble of Indian and American musicians, don’t miss this heartfelt tribute to Hussain and the special bond these two masters shared.
“In India, Niladri is considered one of the masters of today.” - Zakir Hussain
