    Anoushka Shankar Thursday, May 2, 2019 at 8:00pm This is the 939th concert in Koerner Hall Anoushka Shankar, sitar Ojas Adhiya, tabla Pirashanna Thevarajah, mridangam Ravichandra Kulur, flute Danny Keane, cello & piano Kenji Ota, tanpura Anoushka Shankar Sitar player and composer Anoushka Shankar is a singular figure in the Indian classical and progressive world music scenes. Her dynamic and spiritual musicality has garnered several prestigious accolades, including six Grammy Award nominations, recognition as the youngest – and first female – recipient of a British House of Commons Shield, credit as an Asian Hero by TIME magazine, an Eastern Eye Award for Music, and a Songlines Best Artist Award. Most recently, she became one of the first five female composers to have been added to the UK A-level music syllabus. Deeply rooted in the Indian classical music tradition, Shankar studied exclusively from the age of nine under her father and guru, the late Ravi Shankar, and made her professional debut as a classical sitarist at the age of 13. By the age of 20, she had made three classical recordings for EMI/Angel and received her first Grammy nomination, thereby becoming the first Indian female and youngest-ever nominee in the world music category. She is also the first Indian artist to perform at the Grammy Awards. In addition to performing as a solo sitarist, her compositional work has led to cross-cultural collaborations with artists such as Sting, M.I.A., Herbie Hancock, Pepe Habichuela, Karsh Kale, Rodrigo y Gabriela, and Joshua Bell, demonstrating the versatility of the sitar across musical genres.

    Anoushka Shankar: Breathing Under Water – ‘Burn’, ‘Breathing Under Water’ and ‘Easy’ (For component 3: Appraising) Background information and performance circumstances The composer Anoushka Shankar was born in 1981, in London, and is the daughter of the famous sitar player Ravi Shankar. She was brought up in London, Delhi and California, where she attended high school. She studied sitar with her father from the age of 7, began playing tampura in his concerts at 10, and gave her first solo sitar performances at 13. She signed her first recording contract at 16 and her first three album releases were of Indian Classical performances. Her first cross-over/fusion album – Rise – was released in 2005 and was nominated for a Grammy, in the Contemporary World Music category. Her albums since Breathing Under Water have continued to explore the connections between Indian music and other styles. She has collaborated with some major artists – Sting, Nithin Sawhney, Joshua Bell and George Harrison, as well as with her father, Ravi Shankar, and her half-sister, Norah Jones. She has also performed around the world as a Classical sitar player – playing her father’s sitar concertos with major orchestras. The piece Breathing Under Water was Anoushka Shankar’s fifth album, and her second of original fusion music. Her main collaborator was Utkarsha (Karsh) Kale, an Indian musician and composer and co-founder of Tabla Beat Science – an Indian band exploring ambient, drum & bass and electronica in a Hindustani music setting. Kale contributes dance music textures and technical expertise, as well as playing tabla, drums and guitar on the album.
  • Sukanya an Opera by Ravi Shankar

    Sukanya an Opera by Ravi Shankar

    Sukanya an opera by Ravi Shankar Royal Opera House London Philharmonic Orchestra BBC Singers Ravi Shankar was one of the most influential musicians of all time. He inspired people from all walks of life and musicians from all genres of music. These included legendary names such as George Harrison, Yehudi Menuhin, John Coltrane and Philip Glass. Ravi Shankar’s music rapidly spread throughout the world, crossing all cultural and generational boundaries. Ravi Shankar envisaged Sukanya as a truly ground-breaking piece of musical theatre which will explore the common ground between the music, dance and theatrical traditions of India and the West. Ravi Shankar was in a unique position to visualise the common ground between East and West. He was steeped in the ancient musical and dramatic traditions of India through his guru Baba Allaudhin Khan and he also gained a deep knowledge of the music and drama of the west from a very young age. And yet he lived in an age where jet travel, radio, television and recorded music opened up the world and introduced him to musicians from across the globe that he could share and learn music with. As a young man Shankar experienced the reaction of Westerners to hearing Indian music for the first time: although many found it exciting he realised that it needed to be presented very carefully for the untrained Western ear to realise its depths. Thus, Ravi Shankar became the first Indian musician to explain these concepts to his audiences. Shankar had a vision for Sukanya that would break the mould of traditional opera: a truly ground-breaking work which will explore the common ground between the music, dance and theatrical traditions of India and the West.

    David Pontbriand and Brian Shankar Adler

    music presents David Pontbriand and Brian Shankar Adler Saturday, March 20, 2021 Live-Streamed from the Olin Concert Hall 7:30 pm About the Concert 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. Program Introduction Drone (Adler) is inspired by the subtle, hypnotic hum of the tamboura, a plucked string instrument from India. In this piece, I am seeking to create a similarly meditative effect through the use of weaving rhythms that stretch and contract; a palindrome, with no fixed beginning or ending. –BSA Alaap is the name for the exploratory opening section of a raga performance, where the raga theme is gradually unfolded and developed, in free time. In the Indian classical tradition, ragas are melodic frameworks based on one or more modal scales, each with specific conventions of phrasing that suggest a distinct melodic shape, or flavor. Within this framework, the artist creates a unique spontaneous composition with each performance. My alaap is an original conception, for sitar solo, combining melodic elements from two different raga forms with elements of free improvisation, in a “stream of consciousness” series of episodic variations. The vibes provide an atmospheric envelope, gently framing and supporting the melodic variations. –DP Gat is a composition for sitar and tabla, where the themes developed in the alaap are further explored in a rhythmic framework called tala.

    PAPER 4 Detail Study Of Kathak, Nautch Girls, Nritta, Nritya, Different Gharana-s, Present Status, Institutions, Artists Module 12 Pioneers Of Kathak 1930-1950 Pioneers are those who show the path not attempted before. They lead us to light to the new ways of doing something. These are people with vision to fulfill a mission and they are given divine support by history and circumstances to do so. Thus, pioneers are people, ordinary in appearance but with special abilities and mind backed by hard work. Once a form that was long forgotten and got known and established as Kathak, many stars of other forms, most notably Bharatanatyam and Kathakali did much to learn and promote Kathak and help it reach national acclaim. In this, Bharatanatyam trained Ram Gopal, Kathakali trained Uday Shankar and pioneers in films like Menaka and Sadhona Bose took this form further and can be called pioneers, in addition to the generation that followed their example. It would not be wrong to call Uday Shankar a cult figure of the early part of the 20th century. He was a showman, a creator of magical spectacles and a dancer par excellence. He was not a trained dancer, so his movements flowed from the heart. He 1 created the Indian ballet scene because nothing like it existed before. Originally a painter, on his museum visits to delve into books, Uday got fascinated with pictures of sculptures of Hindu gods and goddesses in varied poses. He began imitating the poses. Although unfamiliar with dance techniques, the images provided inspiration to translate into dance movement.

  • Tradition and the Individual Dancer

    Tradition and the Individual Dancer

    1: Tradition and the Individual Dancer History and Innovation in a Classical Form Critical accounts and promotional materials frequently refer to bharata natyam as “ancient.” The dance form’s status as traditional and classical seems to render it fixed, even timeless. A connection to the past appears to be a given for this dance practice. Even on closer examination, a relationship to the past seems integral to the dance form’s identity, its content, and its structure. Present-day bharata natyam choreography draws from the dance practices of earlier decades and centuries. Its movement vocabulary derives from sadir, the solo dance per- formed by temple and court dancers in precolonial and colonial South India. The margam—the concert order that determines when in a program each dance piece appears—was standardized in the nineteenth century by the renowned musician- composers of the Thanjavur Quartet. The roots of bharata natyam extend still further back. For example, the mudras, or hand gestures, used today accord in both shape and meaning with those described in the Natyasastra, a Sanskrit dra- maturgical text, dating from the beginning of the Christian era. Similarly, an arangetram, or initial performance, described in the fifth-century Tamil epic Silappadikaram correlates with that of devadasi practitioners of the nineteenth century, which then established the protocol for twentieth-century debuts. Bharata natyam’s repertoire consists largely of songs written between the sev- enteenth and twentieth centuries. The poems of love and religious devotion that form the basis of the bharata natyam canon emerged from the musical and lit- erary traditions of previous centuries.

Pandit Ravi Shankar—Tansen of our Times Pandit Ravi Shankar died a few months ago, just short of his 93rd birthday on 7 April. So it is opportune that we remember a man whom I have rather unabashedly called the Tansen of our times. Pandit Ravi Shankar was easily the greatest musician of our times and his death marks not only the transience of time itself, but it also reminds us of the glory that was his life and the immortality of his legacy. In the passing of Robindro Shaunkar Chowdhury, as he was called by his parents, on 11 December in San Diego, California, we cherish the memory of an extraordinary genius whose life and talent spanned almost the whole of the 20th century. It crossed all continents, it connected several genres of human endeavour, it uplifted countless hearts, minds and souls. Very few Indians epitomized Indian culture in the global imagination as this charismatic Bengali Brahmin, Pandit Ravi Shankar. Born in 1920, Ravi Shankar not only straddled two centuries but also impacted many worlds—the East, the West, the North and the South, the old and the new, the traditional and the modern.
