Talks & Entertainment

Audiences have been fortunate to witness many sides of the sitarist’s ever-expanding talent from the fresh protégée, playing at the elbow of her legendary father, Ravi Shankar, to the world music adventurer today.

Shankar returns to both her cultural and familial roots, leading a virtuoso septet in a program devoted to North Indian classical music. The artist combines Indian musical currents with jazz, pop, flamenco, and more for a return performance on our stage.

Washington Performing Arts performances at Sixth & I are made possible by the Abramson Family Foundation.
