Maestros in Concert - University of Arizona Presents
This was a concert featuring Ustad Zakir Hussain (Tabla) and Pandit Shiv Kumar (Santoor). It lasted for 2 hours and felt like 2 miutes. The music was heavenly. Started off with a solo by Shiv Kumar and then Zakir Hussain joined in with his Tabla. We were requested not to take any pictures but the scene will always stay in mind. Shiv Kumar on center stage, Hussain to his right facing sideways. I could not believe his humility and he did not even utter a single word. It looked like he was a die hard fan of Shiv Kumar. All in all, they were a great team and it was nice combo of tabla and santoor. Even the fine tuning of the instruments before the performance started was very melodious. The music was astoundingly mesmerizing.
I was exhilarated.
Thank you U of A, Tucson.
