Tabla Legend Zakir Hussain This July

Arts & Entertainment Features

72-year-old Zakir Hussain, the world’s top tabla player plus musical producer, film actor and composer,returns to Australia after more than a decade, to perform Triveni in Melbourne and Sydney in July, together with two of India’s top string players, Kala Ramnath (Hindustani Violin) and Jayanthi Kumaresh (Carnatic Veena).

Hussain made history at the recent 2024 Grammy Awards becoming the first Indian individual to win three of these Grammys in a single night. He was among the winners in the Best Global Music Performance, Best Contemporary Instrumental Album and Best Global Music Album categories.

Triveni is the mythical site of the union of three sacred rivers in India, and the name aptly represents the merging of the varied musicality these three maestros bring to this collaboration. Hussain, Ramnath and Kumaresh are leading Indian classical exponents of their respective instruments. The three came together for the first time as a trio for the 2022 Triveni tour in the US.

Hussain’s consistently brilliant and exciting performances have not only established him as a national treasure in his own country, India, but gained him worldwide fame. As a composer Zakir has scored music for numerous feature films, major events and productions. Widely considered a chief architect of the contemporary world music movement, Zakir’s contribution has been unique, with many historic and ground-breaking collaborations.

Zakir’s father, the legendary Ustad Allarakha Hussain, is praised for his ground-breaking work at the forefront of brilliant musical dialogues between Hindustani and Carnatic music. Zakir was a child prodigy who began his professional career at the age of twelve, accompanying India’s greatest classical musicians and dancers and touring internationally with great success by the age of eighteen.

This recital was a panoramic snapshot of this promising young pianist whose development and maturation will no doubt be watched with great support and interest…..

Brahms’ Piano Sonata No.1 in C major Op.1, one of only three that he wrote, was an excellent choice for a young pianist on the cusp of a major career. Bursting with youthful ebullience and brilliance, Brahms, like Tsang was 20 years old at this point in his life.

Piano+ Canberra - Wesley Music Centre, Monday 25th March 2024, 7:30pm – limited capacity
Brisbane - QSO Studio, Sunday 7th April 2024, 3:00pm
Melbourne - Primrose Potter Salon, Recital Centre - Monday 8th April 2024, 7:00pm

Tsang impressed with his technical wizardry and versatility through Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Impressionist repertoire.
