One interesting facet of that mother-in-law came to stay in 1995, and it hinged on historic collaboration between Ravi Shankar and Yehudi the fact that her daughter Sukanya – Ravi’s wife – was Menuhin was that neither abandoned his own style three decades younger than him. At one point, her – for example, Yehudi kept his characteristic vibrato. mother commented that she had named her daughter Likewise, Ravi absolutely didn’t want the Western right, and when Ravi asked why, she replied that their singers in his opera to compromise their natural mode situation was like that of a story in the ancient Sanskrit of expression – he didn’t want them to imitate Indian Mahābhārata epic.

Then the action begins, with Sukanya and her father plus their entourage singing a celebration of springtime, revelling Indian-style in the sheer beauty of their vocal sound. This is a sound-world in which it is a pleasure to dwell. The vocal lines are simple but gracefully turned, with periodic moments of rich ornamentation, and with Murphy’s beat connecting the disparate elements into an organic whole.

  • Anoushka Shankar Thursday, May 2, 2019 at 8:00Pm This Is the 939Th Concert in Koerner Hall
    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.

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 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.

    Society for Asian Art Newsletter for Members November - December 2020 No. 6 A Message from the SAA President Dear SAA Members and Friends, Have you noticed that time seems to be passing much faster, even though we are staying at home? Is it the lack of excitement, the lack of travels, or the shorter time between SAA Zoom Meetings and Webinars? I am happy to inform you that our events are so well attended that we are confident for the future and are going ahead enthusiastically with planning events to keep your mind and your interest in Asian art at full capacity. That is, after all, the mission of the SAA! November and December may have fewer events because of the many holidays and celebrations, but just look at the Spring 2021 Arts of Asia Lecture Series starting on January 22. Congratulations to the Arts of Asia Committee and our Instructor of Record, Mary-Ann Milford-Lutzker, for getting this together with such a thrilling list of scholars. The other committees have also been busy. Please sign up for our exciting programs in November and December, and be sure to save the dates for the 2021 trips. By now, many of you may have visited the Asian Art Museum since the re-opening on October 1, 2020, and contemplated your most loved works of art in person. We are fortunate to have this partial access to the special exhibitions and the collection galleries. While we await the opening of the new Akiko Yamazaki and Jerry Yang Pavilion and the East West Bank Art Terrace, we are also waiting for access to Samsung Hall, the Loggia and Koret Education Center, spaces where we love to meet you in person, have live lectures and events, or even sell books.
