One of the world’s leading tabla virtuosos, GRAMMY Award-winning musician Sandeep Das, a 21-year member of the Silk Road Ensemble and collaborator with Paquito D’Rivera, Bobby McFerrin, and Yo-Yo Ma, joins the VSO at the Paramount Theatre. VSO also welcomes guest sitarist Rajib Karmakar to start the concert with the first movement of pioneering composer Ravi Shankar’s Symphony. Das follows with Sri Lankan/Canadian composer Dinuk Wijeratne’s brilliant Tabla Concerto. The concert completes its East/West connection with Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, a hugely popular, sweeping work masterfully orchestrated by Maurice Ravel. Conducted by VSO Music Director Andrew Crust. A free, pre-concert talk takes place in the auditorium at 6:30pm; the concert begins at 7:30pm. Tickets and information at www.vso.org/events.
