We are sorry to hear of the passing of legendary tabla player and multi Grammy winning musician Zakir Hussain. He was a national treasure in his home country of India and one of its reigning cultural ambassadors. His last performance at UGA was ten years ago, and we were very much looking forward to his return next spring. He will be greatly missed.
