-----------------
Anoushka Shankar has shown herself to be a unique artist with tremendous talent and understanding of the great musical tradition of India.  Anoushka is the only artist in the world to be trained completely by her father, legendary sitar virtuoso and composer, Ravi Shankar.  She has been playing and studying the sitar with him since she was nine, and at age thirteen she made her performing debut in New Delhi, India.  As her solo career continues to blossom, it seems she is poised to carry forward her father’s legacy as one of the most creative and influential figures in the music world.

Shankar has shared the stage with many of the world’s top celebrities, including Sting, Madonna, Nina Simone, Elton John, Peter Gabriel and James Taylor, and had the fortune to perform for Ray Charles and Prince Charles.  This Grammy Award nominated musician is the half sister of contemporary music sensation Norah Jones.
Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to see Grammy Award nominated classical sitar player, Anoushka Shankar, live at the Topeka Performing Arts Center!
