This special performance in Charlotte on October 25th, 2026, honors the legacy of the late Ustad Zakir Hussain. It features four extraordinary artists: Niladri Kumar, Satyajit Talwalkar, Charlie Lindner, and Demitro Albany.

Niladri Kumar and Satyajit Talwalkar explore the deep connection between sitar and tabla, moving fluidly through tradition, innovation, and expressive space. Their collaboration reflects years of shared artistry shaped by Zakir Hussain’s musical tradition.

Charlie Lindner on keys and Demitro Albany on bass add texture, harmony, and contemporary energy to the ensemble. Together, they craft a rich, immersive dialogue that bridges Indian classical foundations with modern global sound.

This Charlotte performance is a tribute, celebration, and invitation to listen closely to the music, silence, and legacy within both.
