    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 26, 2016 Contact: Katherine E. Johnson (212) 875-5718; [email protected] FORMER MUSIC DIRECTOR ZUBIN MEHTA TO RETURN TO NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC RAVI SHANKAR’s Rāgā-Mālā Concerto No. 2, for Sitar and Orchestra With ANOUSHKA SHANKAR as Soloist SCHUBERT’s Symphony in C major, Great November 3–5, 2016 Former Music Director Zubin Mehta will return to the New York Philharmonic to conduct Schubert’s Symphony in C major, Great, and Ravi Shankar’s Rāgā-Mālā Concerto No. 2, for Sitar and Orchestra, with soloist Anoushka Shankar, the composer’s daughter, in her Philharmonic debut. The program will take place Thursday, November 3, 2016, at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, November 4 at 8:00 p.m.; and Saturday, November 5 at 8:00 p.m. The Philharmonic commissioned and premiered Shankar’s Rāgā-Mālā Concerto No. 2, for Sitar and Orchestra, in April 1981, with the composer as soloist in his Philharmonic debut and led by then Music Director Zubin Mehta, to whom the work is dedicated. Rāgā-Mālā translates to “Garland of Ragas”; in Indian classical music, a raga is a mode, of which there are more than 300. Zubin Mehta and Ravi Shankar discussed the work in 1981 in Ovation magazine. Mr. Mehta said that although he had not previously believed that Western orchestras could play Indian music, “Ravi worked individually with our solo players in every section, to help him not only to know each musician but the characteristic of his instrument. … I feel at the moment that it will work.” Shankar said: “For many years I have been dreaming of playing with the Maestro from Bombay.

  • An Exploration of the Institutions, Characteristics and Drivers of Elite Philanthropy in India
    Swinburne University of Technology Faculty of Business & Law DRAFT An exploration of the institutions, characteristics and drivers of elite philanthropy in India John Godfrey BA, MSc, Grad. Dip Arts Admin Student ID 1700367 Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Swinburne University of Technology, Faculty of Business & Law. Year of approval for award 2020. Abstract This thesis fills a gap in the empirical study of elite philanthropy which to date has been confined to mostly Western philanthropy, informed by Christian and Jewish norms and traditions. This research explores a tradition and practice of philanthropy which has its early roots in dharmic and Islamic tradition yet, as is shown, has been influenced by Western rules and norms. Twenty-eight philanthropists were interviewed. The two religions these respondents most identified with were Hindu or Parsi, though some identified as Jain, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist. The research applies a theoretical framework described as a moral citizenship. This framework brings together two theoretical models developed by Schervish - identification theory and moral biography (Schervish et al. 1998; Schervish and Havens 1997; Schervish and Havens 2001b, 2002; Schervish and Herman 1988; Schervish et al. 2001). These models, they argue, provide the most fruitful way to identify the social and psychological frameworks that mobilise the agency of philanthropists. The methodology used to apply this theoretical framework used long interviews in which respondents were given free rein to talk about their philanthropic activity in their own terms. This methodology follows in the steps of others such as Breeze and Lloyd (2013), Lloyd (2004), Odendahl (1990), Ostrower (1995), Panas (1984, 2019 [1984]), Scaife et al.

  • Classical Singers
    1. RAVI SHANKAR Ravi Shankar (7 April 1920 – 11 December 2012), often referred to by the title Pandit, was an Indian musician and composer who played thesitar, a plucked string instrument. He has been described as the best-known contemporary Indian musician. He spent his youth touring Europe and India with the dance group of his brother Uday Shankar. He gave up dancing in 1938 to study sitar playing under court musician Allauddin Khan. After finishing his studies in 1944, Shankar worked as a composer, creating the music for the Apu Trilogy by Satyajit Ray, and was music director of All India Radio, New Delhi, from 1949 to 1956. In 1956, he began to tour Europe and the Americas playing Indian classical music and increased its popularity there in the 1960s through teaching, performance, and his association with violinist Yehudi Menuhin and rock artist George Harrison of the Beatles. Shankar engaged Western music by writing concerti for sitar and orchestra and toured the world in the 1970s and 1980s. From 1986 to 1992 he served as a nominated member of Rajya Sabha, the upper chamber of the Parliament of India. Shankar was awarded India's highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, in 1999, and received three Grammy Awards. He continued to perform in the 2000s, sometimes with his younger daughter, Anoushka. Career Shankar developed a style distinct from that of his contemporaries and incorporated influences from rhythm practices of Carnatic music. His performances begin with solo alap, jor, and jhala (introduction and performances with pulse and rapid pulse) influenced by the slow and serious dhrupad genre, followed by a section with tabla accompaniment featuring compositions associated with the prevalent khyal style.
