The on-stage collaboration of Pandit Shivkumar Sharma and Ustad Zakir Hussain is a rare treat for audiences in Europe: a significant tour as these two great artists have not performed together in the UK since 1992. A virtuoso on the classical Indian tabla since the age of twelve, Zakir Hussain's consistently exciting performances have established him as a major name in percussion world-wide. Shivkumar Sharma took the santoor out of its folk context and into the world of classical music. His command, authority and imagination in Indian classical music has given integrity to this beautiful instrument.
