Happy 90th Birthday to Pt Ravi Shankar!
Pandit Ravi Shankar (Bengali: রবি শংকর; born 7 April 1920), often referred to by the title Pandit, is an Indian sitarist and composer. He has been described as the most well known contemporary Indian musician by Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart.
Shankar was born in Varanasi and 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 America playing Indian classical music and increased its popularity there in the 1960s through teaching, performance, and his association with violinist Yehudi Menuhin and 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 the upper chamber of the Parliament of India. Shankar was awarded India's highest civilian honor, the Bharat Ratna, in 1999, and received three Grammy Awards. He continues to perform in the 2000s, often with his daughter Anoushka.

Deepak Kumar Pareek in Concert!
Deepak's soulful voice and princely bearing create a wonderful atmosphere of meditative yet joyful stirrings in the hearts and souls of his listeners.
Cine Views wrote that Deepak's "voice may best be described as mellifluous, rounded and akin to nature, like the sea softly stroking the seashore" in a review of Deepak's last concert at Jivamukti. He has performed in India and the U.S., with a recent cross-country tour with Musafir, the Rajasthani troupe. Deepak is on the faculty of the East-West School of Music at Ananda Ashram in Monroe, NY where he frequently gives concerts and teaches North Indian vocal music. He was born in Rajasthan, India and started his musical education at the age of five with his father Shri P.N. Vyas.
Deepak will be playing the harmonium and guitar and will be accompanied by Erhen Hanson, an accomplished tabla player who has accompanied major artists both here and abroad.

Brooklyn Conservatory of Music proudly presents Neel
Murgai Ensemble performing the World Premier of “Reorientation Suite”!
NEEL MURGAI ENSEMBLE features:
Neel Murgai (sitar)
Mat Maneri (viola),
Sameer Gupta (tabla),
Greg Heffernan (cello)
NME will bring an intriguing blend of instrumentation that will redefine North Indian classical music.
Inspired by issues of orientalism and exoticism that pervade the reception of Neel’s work, “Reorientation Suite” deconstructs ‘world’ and ‘ethnic’ music, while hoping to reorient performer and listener alike to a new understanding. This suite of new music draws from raga, minimalism, jazz and experimental music, but is brought to life by the dynamic cross-cultural improvisation that is the ensemble’s signature sound. http://www.neelmurgai.com
