Masterful sitarist Anoushka Shankar comes to Auburn this season, accompanied by a new band of musicians with whom she has carved out an original, multifaceted and dynamic sound. Shankar and her bandmates will perform music from her three newly released mini-albums–Chapter I: Forever, For Now, Chapter II: How Dark it Is Before Dawn, and Chapter III upcoming in March 2025—alongside thoroughly shaken-up, reinterpreted gems from her previous releases including the Grammy-nominated live album Between Us…
2025 will mark Shankar’s 30th year as a performing artist, with a band hailed as one of the best ensembles ever to have toured with her. The energy and camaraderie on stage is unmatched as Shankar leads the way in pioneering a new sound through inventive arrangements, sensitive virtuosity and a neoclassical approach to the musical tradition to which she belongs.
“She puts personal expression into songs following the scales of ancient ragas, which can only be mastered through years of rigorous practice.”
