A live-streamed concert presented by the Department of Music
Sitarist David Pontbriand and percussionist/composer Brian Shankar Adler perform an evening of pieces and songs connected (in one way or another) to India. Unusual settings of sitar with vibraphone, drum set, and bomba legüero, engage in textural dialogue with the more customary duo of sitar and tabla. The program includes improvisations, original compositions, and folk songs, as well as works by Ellington/Strayhorn and Lennon/McCartney.
Limited in-person tickets are available for students.
A recording of the live-stream will be made available after the performance.
