Between Us... featuring Anoushka Shankar & the National Symphony Orchestra
$39-$99 ($29-$99 wheelchair/companion; MyTix/student rush tickets available)
- Anoushka Shankar, sitar
- Jules Buckley, guest conductor
British-Indian-American sitar player, producer, film composer, and activist Anoushka Shankar follows in her father Ravi Shankar's footsteps with her own unique take on the Indian instrument. Led by conductor and arranger Jules Buckley, the innovative artist joins the National Symphony Orchestra to perform dazzling arrangements of her music, including works from her newest Grammy-nominated album Between Us…
Immersed from a young age on the world stage, and with more than a quarter-century's performing behind her, Shankar is a singular, genre-defying artist across realms—classical and contemporary, acoustic and electronic.
With nine Grammy nominations under her belt, Shankar came to notable attention when her album Live at Carnegie Hall made her the first Indian woman and youngest-ever Grammy nominee in the World Music category.
