Zakir Hussain Eternal
On the eve of what would have been his 75th birthday, the Zakir Hussain Institute of Music and World Music Institute proudly present a transcendent evening honoring the life, music, and enduring spirit of Zakir Hussain—the legendary tabla virtuoso, composer, and cultural ambassador whose artistry bridged traditions and reimagined contemporary music while his artistry in the Hindustani classical tradition remained unparalleled.
An extraordinary ensemble of artists—many of Hussain’s closest friends and longtime collaborators—come together for a luminous celebration of cross-cultural harmony and creative kinship. Through breathtaking performances spanning classical Indian music, jazz, and contemporary world music, this concert reflects the timeless influence and boundless imagination that defined Hussain’s remarkable journey.
